postreznorjack , I am still LOVING my Emotiva speakers. I wish I would have upgraded sooner, it makes the work day sooooo much more enjoyable. They reminded me how amazing music can sound from a pair of kick ass speakers.
If anyone has a large desk, and is wanting to upgrade their listening experience, the Emotiva Airmotiv speakers get my 100% recommendation. They're fairly large for desktop speakers (9.5"x6.25"x7.5", HxWxD), but if you have the room, you WILL NOT be disappointed.
The speakers are self powered, so you don't have to worry about an amplifier. Just feed them with an RCA cable and the power cord, and you're ready to rock. They have separate amplifiers for the tweeter and low frequency transducer (25 W each for a total of 50 W per speaker, or 50 W x 2 for 100 W per speaker if you get the next size up). These suckers can get LOUD too, all while sounding clean and distortion free. They were able to rattle the walls of my apartment when they were sitting on a table in the middle of the room.
They are pricy if you haven't ventured far into the audio world ($300 for the pair), but they really do perform at a level near twice their price imo. And they're from a good 'ole independent TN company.
Some idiot snuck in & broke a piece off. He was trying to steal the entire rock. It happened while we were on our way to Bonnaroo in 2013.
That rock is salty
You didn't lick that rock. You licked the fake one on a homecoming display. I'm not sure you were up for a trip around the stadium to visit the real one. We'll do that your next trip down.

Does chicojuarz ever really know what he's licking?

Rothric thats awesome. I'd love to hear a pair of those some day, a lot of my audio friends have them and have nothing but good things to say. I'm in a cube so no speakers for me at work, just my V-Moda M100 cans. They are a little tight on my big head but otherwise have surprisingly fidelity at their price point. Most importantly they have great bass, which is why I bought them. For some reason I mostly listen to hip-hop while practicing my auditing skillz.
If I ever end up in an office here with a door I'll definitely invest in some powered monitors, and will look hard at Emotiva. It's hard to beat the value they offer.
Speaking of bass the only audio purchase I see on the horizon is a new sub for my HT. The SVS Ultra Towers I bought are amazing and have prodigious bass, pretty much all the bass I need for music ("Backseat Freestyle" shakes the whole room while still sounding completely clean). But for that LFE channel on movies I need some more oomph. So I'll probably end up with an SVS Cylinder sub, probably the Ultra version because why the hell not, I already have the Ultras peakers. The SVS ported boxes are prettier, but they are enormous and weigh close to 200 pounds. The cylinder subs have a similar volume but are high instead of wide:
SVS PB13-Ultra:
SVS PC13-Ultra:
The PB is prettier but I think the PC will just work better in my room.

Damn, that top sub just looks sexy!
My work conditions are often very shitty, but one benefit is I can pretty much rock as loud as I want.
I'm a bass head in my music too, but I want it to be clean and full sounding. Always considered getting some Beyerdynamics for that reason, but will need to keep the V-Moda M100 on my radar too. Not looking to purchase anytime soon (need to save for moving!), but I'll definitely keep them in mind.

Yeah the PB subs look fantastic, love that piano black finish. But if you do some googling for size comparisons you'll see how enormous they are. The cylinders still draw the eye because they are so tall but at least they don't take up much square footage. The ported subs measure bit flatter towards the 20hz mark but according to SVS in real world use the performance between the cylinder and their corresponding ported box models is identical.
Its been a while but I've owned the Beyer DT770 and DT990. The problem with the 770 is there is a real bad midrange suck out. I remember the DT990s being better in the midrange.
The V-Moda M100 is really inoffensive. I mean its not totally neutral but its hard to find anything to complain about, just great all around cans.
For office use IEMs are also a great option, if you are OK with having all outside noise completely blocked out. My Shure SE215 was awesome for years but recently one of the channels went out so its toast.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I don't have a real speaker at work. I use the computer speaker. I am also the first person you see when you walk in the office and I answer the phones, so it is probably better that way. I listen to my volume on 2 maybe 3, and I can't wear earbuds since I have to answer the phone.

That's too bad
I am definitely lucky that I don't have any volume restrictions on me during work. My night shift sleeps in the back of the trailer I'm working in, but between the noise of the rig, and the A/C, you can't hear the music from my end.
Listening to music at a healthy volume makes the day infinitely more enjoyable.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

That is probably one of the reasons today is dragging. There is a conference call in the "office" next to mine and I haven't been able to have music on for almost 2 hours now. I am dying!!!!

Ya, fuck that! I'd go crazy if I had to always work with no music. Maybe their conference runs long, and you can sneak out a little early. Fingers crossed!

I got this set for my computer the other day. It's nothing fancy but it's a huge upgrade from the crappy old speakers I took from my college roommate years ago when he got a better setup. Subwoofer makes all the difference in the world.
Only $32 on amazon right now.
For my turntable/iPod I have a sony stereo system that is great but not set up properly.
If we are talking speakers, I highly recommend these bluetooth bebes:
Super light and portable, but the sound is amazing.
The sprint store threw in one of these when I got my new phone just a bit ago - because I had been a customer for so long. And they gave me a Tab 4 for free if I bought a 2nd line for $7.50 / month.
This a beast (full disclaimer: I have no stereo system at my abode, so I am far from an expert). Never before have I been worried my neighbors would complain about the music being too loud. Plus they gave me six months of Spotify Premium so I am really getting full value out of the Album of the Month and Now Playing Dos threads.

I got mine from sprint, too - but only discounted, not free. #bitter

Today is the worst... I wish I had brought earbuds with me, I could at least TRY to listen to music.

I used to have the same setup. The sound is decent for the price, and I like having the little controller for the volume power (I used 3M tape to stick it to my desk), but eventually I came to hate having so much wiring everywhere. Right now I have the Samsung DA-E570, and I like it well enough. Really powerful, clear sound, and I can pair it with Bluetooth devices if I need to. I can also use my iPad as a remote, but I only do that when I feel like nerding out; it's not really practical.
