I have had a lot of monitors, but my two favorite are the JBL 308P MkII and the Yamaha HS8. I think the JBL is better for casual listening. In both cases, each brand has a subwoofer that pairs very well. I don't use the woofer to "get more bass", but to get "clarity" from the monitors by offloading anything under 50hz to the sub. I keep the sub volume as low as possible just to hear the slight "thump" I need. I find that this allows the monitors to work optimally. The JBL monitor and sub combo should fit into your budget, depending on what country you buy from.

Hello dear users of the forum.
I would like please to ask for your advice.
I’m using Pianoteq with much love.
I’m searching for Active monitors which the Pianoteq will sound good through.
I will NOT use them for any sound-design proposes.
The use will be playing the piano, practicing, composing and listening to music.

I’m in a semi-treated acoustic room.
My gear is Kawa VPC1 and RME 400 Soundcard.

My budget is around 700 Euro (780 Dollars) for a pair.

I will highly appreciate to hear your advice and experience.

Thanks in advance,
Ofer
