Hi,

Although I'm not an audiophile, this post might still fit the "budget" part of the sub.
I can buy a pair of active speakers, reasonable size, with standby mode (which is maybe common, I don't know), for cheap.
There are the Audac Ares5A. Targeted at background/music applications: classrooms, meeting rooms, bars, restaurants, retail, etc.
They says it's fine for music, but of course they would say that.
I would use them as desktop pc speakers.

Is it completely idiotic of me? I like buying professional products, it's often very sturdy. The "buy it for life" stuff.
Is it something people do, or am I in effect asking if it's a good idea to buy an 18-wheeler to commute to work?

Yeah it was not so much the active speaker part as the PA speakers part that had me doubting. although I'm not a basshead I noticed also the 80hz

I just stumbled upon the D3V while browsing second hand speakers! not knowing what I was looking at. They're new, selling them 200€ instead of retail 250€. I was hoping to spend half that. Maybe if I can talk them down a bit...

Thank you very much for your input. I think I'll cancel the Audac order.
