Plink and plonk. Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi, I have bought a secondhand Casio XW-P1. It will be used only for home use. Can you offer any advice regarding which type of speakers and leads I should purchase? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnzie Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yes, you will want what is called - Near field studio monitor speakers. You will need a minimum of a 5 inch woofer and bi-amped for the best sound. You will also need $200 to $300 for a pair of speakers. Always monitor in stereo with two speakers. You will also want what is called active speakers, which have built in amplifiers inside the speakers. Most at the price level quoted above are bi-amped, meaning each driver, the tweeter and woofer have their own amplifier. So for a stereo pair, there are 4 amplifiers inside the speakers. These speakers (near field) are designed to be close to your ears and can provide accurate sound and a good stereo image sitting as close as 5 feet away. Here are two suggestions of the most popular near fields being sold today at the quoted price above: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LSR305MK2--jbl-305p-mkii-5-inch-powered-studio-monitor AND https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ErisE5--presonus-eris-e5-5-inch-powered-studio-monitor You can spend up to $10,000 on speaker monitors if you wish to, but I think you would be happy with one of the two suggestions.
