Computer Speakers For Music Production

Using the speakers for house music production where low end is very important. Coming from a pair of KRKs that were really lacking in the low range, I am extremely pleased with the Mackies. They are quite large, bigger than I expected but look really nice. They can go quite loud with ease and work great at lower level providing a nice deepness and soft sound. The tweeters sounded a bit odd to me at first but now I think I have already adapted. There are multiple settings in the back that allow you to adjust to the level you are most comfortable with. Overall a great product and received less than two days after I ordered it!

I needed a new main computer for my music production studio. I was not sure whether to buy this or the 2.93 12-core. I did some research and everything pointed to processor speed trumping core count in heavy DAW use. It is true. This machine outperforms a friends 2.93 12-core in plugin/Virtual instrument count in both Logic and Cubase. The only downside is that you are limited to a max of 24GB of RAM (using 8GB sticks) to still get the triple channel functionality. But that's still quite a lot.

I have a dell inspiron 3847, came with 8 gig of ram. I'm using it for music production, cubase and a lot of vst instruments. Well the day came to add more ram. Because this computer is a bit older, it maxes out at 16 gig. The Crucial 16GB DDR3 1600, was the only thing I could find for an upgrade. These specs are not the fastest, but the mother board would not accept DDR4. Swapping the ram was easy. On restart the computer recognized there was a hardware change, went to settings and ran a diagnostic, than restarted and works great. OS Windows 10 64bit. If your doing music production, I recommend 32GB or more if your computer will accept it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am building my computer for music production and this was one of the missing pieces I needed to finish my build. I’ve been looking for extra ram to give my computer the storage it needs to run my music programs without stalling. It was easy to install and works great. Im sure this product will last.

I read extensive reviews about these speakers for use by my iMac computer. So... I took a chance. When I opened the packaging they arrived in, I knew I was in for a treat. The way these were wrapped and packaged, it was clear that they were of premium quality. After connecting them to my computer, what a joy. I have a degree in music so I may be a bit more discriminating than some. They look great, too. The down side... It's too easy to spend even more time at my computer with the music I love.

We were used to listening to music using our computer and our computer's speakers - not great sound. The Tivoli, by contrast, fills the house with beautiful sound providing hearty bass out of its wooden body. It doesn't hurt at all that the radio is so great looking, either. We purchased an AM/FM antenna to go with the radio so it pulls in the stations we want with no problems.

These are excellent computer speakers. I have been listening to a lot of music. Klipsch was spot on with the sub level indicayor at 10 oclock. Perfect bass level.

I casually listen to my iTunes collection, Apple Music, and SoundCloud. Play:5 sounds wonderful: full, deep, rich sound, surprising bass, no distortion; Is reliable: music never skips or stalls. I replaced a pair of M-Audio computer speakers. Play:5 sounds better than any computer speakers and bookshelf speakers I have owned. Play:5 in white looks beautiful, especially with white shelving. I bought Play:5 in December 2015 when a 45-day return period was offered. I have no regrets. The only disappointment is in the controller software. Sonos Controller for Mac is like a music player from the early 2000s; Difficult to navigate; Awful for discovery. I wish I could play my iTunes collection from iTunes to Play:5 (without AirPlay). I lose over a decade of metadata gathered from my music habits. But, Play:5 sounds great.

I enjoy listening to music and watching music videos on my computer. These speakers have a crisp, clear sound and the subwoofer provides more than enough bass to fill a medium-sized room. I sit between the two speakers and hardly need to have the volume up at all. The setup is simple and took less than ten minutes. I've only been using them for a week, but hopefully they'll stand the test of time.

I was looking for computer speakers that could double as Bluetooth speakers for music and podcasts. I have several BT speakers and an Apple HomePod but was looking for a little more separation. While I was a bit skeptical about the size of the speakers, I am very pleased to say that the reviews were accurate. This system is phenomenal. I am shocked by the depth of sound that comes from speakers of this size, and the integration of the sub in the soundstage is excellent. This is a terrific compromise for computer/BT/bookshelf speakers.
