4208 Near Field Monitors

[Robh3606]

Just wondering what you guys think of these?? I just grabed a pair off Ebay. Needed a nice pair of shielded computer speakers. Any of you hear them???

Sure I picked up a pair about a year ago. Paid $100 and use them with my TV. I think they are up to the task as computer speakers as well. Nice smooth H.F. and in a tight setting the Bass is ok as well. Some say they are bass shy? Maybe in a large room but not in front of you, as you surf the net.:bouncy:

for computers and very near-field they should be just fine......Don't think they would make great HT fronts tho..:D

Thanks

I did a search and couldn't find that much on them. Let you know how they work out once I get them. They will be replacing L20T3 I have now. Placing them is a real pain with no shielding but they sure sound nice.

I have some 4206s and they sound...pretty good. I've never put the RTA on them, but to my ears they seem a bit on the bright side.

A friend of mine has a pair but they're in the same room (loft actually) as a pair of 4412s and some 240ti's. With these to compare to, they sound a bit thin and the highs just don't compare. For $100 they're great though :) .

The cost factor always makes any speaker sound better....

Are you going to flog off the L20T3's?:blink:

I think you should keep them for your museum!:D

LOL! I think I have a speaker fetish. Well at least I am in the right support group.

I got them!! They sound good!! In good shape as well. Now all I have to do is sneek them into my office at work;)

Rob:D

Glad they came in good shape and that you like the sound...of course near-field is what they are designed for

anyway, good luck and enjoy

:applaud: :D

Wrong crowd. We're the enabling co-dependents.
