Best speakers for a computer
Get yourself a pair of powered monitors. Whatever fits your budget. Yamaha HS5 are a tried and true option, that's what I personally use.

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?
Yes. But the HS5 does have a boost around 1khz. Which compared to a speaker (or headphone) which has a more neutral mid-range response could make them seem a bit shouty. And they're a little bit too flat. People tend to perceive speakers (even studio monitors) that have a little bit of tilt in the f

focusrite speakers
Yamaha HS5’s are within budget and a nice sounding set of monitors. If he wants to later on, he could also add the matching Yamaha sub to them for more bass. I use their bigger brothers l, the HS8. Whilst neither the HS8 or HS5 is truly a ‘reference’ speaker (a speaker with a very flat response curv

Recommended speakers?
Yamaha HS5 or KRK RP5 are both decent entry level speakers. In general avoid speakers that have bluetooth. I've seen a few of these advertised and they are just toys. You will also need a decent audio interface. The MOTU M2 or M4 are really solid high quality units. A little cheaper would be Univers

Should i get a catalinbread soft focus deluxe or a yamaha fx500
What is your budget as a number? Yamaha HS5 is a pretty popular budget choice but if that is out of the range you are willing to pay it's not a good recommendation :)

How to improve my WFH setup?
Setup is already clean, that Herman Miller doing the heavy lifting For the vertical monitor — 27" at 1080p works great for docs and Slack. Mount both on arms to free up desk space, your setup is begging for it. A monitor light bar is a game changer for night sessions — BenQ ScreenBar is the go-to, n

New To Synth Minilogue XD
It all depends on your budget! I mostly recommended these because they are only $119 for a pair. Monitor speakers can go up to the 5 figure mark for one each. Of course, those are only useful if you also have a fully acoustically optimized room. Yamaha has the HS5 and HS8. These also have a subwoofe

You can find a pair of powered studio monitors/ speakers in your price range from reverb. Yamaha HS5 pair $329. Excellent powered speakers.
