Hi all,

I want to setup a system at home. I will output from my pc to this
system.

I am after, in order of importance:
a) nice crisp clear sound
b) strong loud bass
c) would prefer powered speakers to avoid excessive configuration (am
open to suggestions)
d) not excessive in size (no more than ~1m in height)

A friend who DJ's has suggested a JBL 15" EON powered speaker. What are
your thoughts on this?

Budgetting to spend ~$500 AUD. Used speakers are ok.

Thanks

Charles.

That's a plastic box *PA* speaker ! It will not fit your requirements ( hardly
decent fidelity ) but in a home setting will probably go loud enough to make
your neighbours come round and kill you.

for home stereo you will hate the EONS.

try a pair of Tannoy Reveal Active plus one or two Tannoy TS-12 subwoofers

If you were in the UK I'd advise going to Richer Sounds and buying some low to
mid end gear.

Take a peek and see if it gives you any ideas.

But if you want powered speakers the Behringer Truth 2031A's are not much
more than that new. ($700 RRP)
I don't know of anything better for that sort of money.

I use a pair of these (unpowered) for P.A. They're good for that
job. But they're big and ugly and not at all a refined enough sound
for a home system.

If you can find a pair inside your budget, they'll be broken.
