Ask HN: Speaker recommendations for using in home office
I recently start working at home and would love to listen to some Lo-Fi music. Any good speaker recommendations? Thank you!
- necovek 3y agoAny decent 4-6" monitors can do a wonderful job. I have a PreSonus 4.5" version connected to an USB audio interface — this works great with both Linux computers and Mac laptops.
- woliveirajr 3y agoWhere will the sound come from? I mean, from the motherboard (mb)? Some MB have terrible sound as they pick up electrical noises from the power source (psu). Having a good MB, or an external audio (getting the audio from your computer via USB) makes a bigger difference than the speakers.

- t312227 3y agohello, i'm a big fan of so called "near-field monitors", which have a decent sound if you tend to sit in front of them. most of them are active and there are a broad spectrum of options available ... idk. from cheap(er) behringer, alesis, mackie to name a few or the decade-old intermediately priced "standards" from yamaha (which i'm using) to other more pricier options ... if you want to spend some money / invest in quality combine them with a decent USB-audio solution + symmetric cables ... :)) just my 0.02€
