I currently have a very basic recording set up and am looking at what I really should be spending my limited budget on to improve capabilities.
Currently for listening back to my work I just run out of my Presonus Firebox to a stereo amplifier which drives 2 desktop speakers.
The speakers are very decent (Paradigm Atoms) and it sounds good to me but there must be a reason why so many people invest in powered studio monitors. Bearing in mind that anything over, say, $350 is pretty much out of the question, what would powered studio monitors bring to the table for me that the stereo does not?
Thanks
