Hi, currently I have a set of Logitech z506 5.1 speakers. They sound good, but I've been to a friend's home studio some years ago and he has only a pair of monitors no dedicated subwoofer apparently and they already sound 10 times better than my setup.
The thing I'm asking for help: I'm looking for a good pair of speakers, I'm trying to stay at $200 maximum. But If I'm needed to pay more for a better product I'm willing to save.
Is there a good pair of speakers that "everyone uses"? Maybe there are some popular monitors out there so I can get a glimpse of how good the speakers are. I mean if everyone is using it that means they're fairly good monitors or at least a good point of reference. (I've seen a lot of those black boxes with yellow drivers speakers, which ones are they? Are they really good?)
What is a nice upgrade from the Logitech z506? (Something about twice its price) (I wanna stay away from these kind of speakers, they're really like cheeply made compared to a real amateur sound system, please help me)
Also, I'm really ignorant about studio gear and stuff so, do I need some kind of sound interface? If so consider that into the reccomendation. Good starter kit audio interface thing + monitors. The one you would reccomend to a beginner.
I'm looking at some Mackie cr4 monitors, are they good? they're $200. What is a good sound interface to pair them with?
Also look at this https://www.amazon.com.mx/gp/product/B000IKSIOM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AVDBXBAVVSXLQ they're at really good price, should I do it? What's a nice interface?
TL;DR (kinda): Studio monitor + audio interface starter kit for $200 max?.
Just want them to listen to music, play games and watch videos. So I want something with good sound highs and lows very sharp. And maybe when I have that good setup I get into recording but that is not that important just yet.
Happy holidays and merry xmas!
