Its large 2560 x 1440 panel is curved and has a 144Hz refresh rate. If you’re looking for clean, precise and transparent active speakers, give these a whirl. The ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ is one of the best 32-inch monitors for gaming.
Sonically the Dynaudio X14a active speakers could do with more outright attack and energy, but there’s no doubting they do a lot of things very well. Both boxes need plugging into the wall so remember to consider the location of power sockets in your home. Either one will simply plug into the speakers’ RCA and XLR inputs, so there’s no need for speaker cables either. Two 50-watt amplifiers have been crammed into each compact box, one driving the soft dome tweeter and the other the company’s favoured magnesium silicate polymer mid/bass driver.Īs active speakers take care of the amplification stage, they only need pairing with a source with a volume control – an integrated CD player, an Apple iPod, a TV – or a pre-amp/DAC connected to a source.
The Excite family wear rosewood and walnut veneers or satin white or satin black finishes, and the X14a speakers look the business. Want a high-end pair of serious speakers fit for any desktop? These expensive Dynaudio speakers could be just the ticket.
