I’ve had a really old set of speakers on my computer and they finally died.  So after researching and looking around. I decided to purchase some recording studio monitors. I bought the M-Audio BX5A speakers which are low-end ($299 a pair)  studio monitors and the sound is absolutely phenomenal. With my old speakers when I turned up the volume the sounded harsh. Now when I turn up the volume I can get enough. The sound is awesome. I’m now wishing I had shelled out even more money for more expensive monitors, but I guess I’ll just have to live with these for a while.
