Topic: Budget speaker recommendation

[TubeJunkie]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for active speakers to hook up to my MacBook Pro, nothing fancy, but as good sounding as possible on a budget around 3-6K. I've considered second hand to gain quality vs price, but really hate chasing around.

Any advices most welcome, thanks!

you probably need PC speakers. There are good models from Logitech, Edifiler and Creative that should fit your budget.

I also tried this out from this shop and sound is pretty decent. And I was about to get it kaso display/demo unit lang available.

I prefer autopairing wireless speakers for notebooks. Fluance Fi30 is a good start, imo. It's $149.99 less 10% with offer code supprt32. That's 5.9k PhP at the current exchange rate.

That budget is good for typical pc speakers or portables. The M-Audio AV 40 has very good reviews. Available from Amazon.com.

Back when my MacBook Air was my main machine, I used a Minimax rechargeable speaker. It was fed by a 1/8" jack cable for signal. It charged via a usb cable. This setup was loud enough for youtube and tv shows. It had reasonable upper bass that produced vocals that weren't tinny sounding.

When I set up my Mac Mini, I used an Indeed TA-2024 T-amp (10W@8ohms) and a used set of Denon SCM51 speakers that I bought off olx.ph. I had to use a JDS Labs Objective DAC for better SQ and higher line signal.

That same T-amp worked well connected directly to the headphone jack of my MacBook Air. No dac was needed.

The T-amp needs upwards of 91db/1W/1M sensitivity speakers to sound good. It managed fine with the 88db Denons but had low headroom and struggled with lows (with movies.) 

It is possible with your budget to buy a T-amp and used high sensitivity speakers. It won't be easy finding them. Patience is needed.
