I was getting ready to put some new equipement up in my studio and I need some really good speakers. Nothing too expensive. The size of my room is very small so I don't need anything huge. Anybody have any ideas?

Are you trying to settle with computer speakers or a nice set of speakers outside of your computer?Check out Zzsounds. They have some real nice inexpensive speakers.

That is freaking lovely. Where would you find a set of speakers like that?

Why do they look like an older set of speakers. Like an older model. When were those introduced?

Those were available new until pretty recently. They're horn loudspeakers, which are very popular in the professional world.

Are they better to have outside of the other speakers? And why are they called horn speakers?

Horn speakers have a diaphragm or cone with a horn in front of them, shaped something like a megaphone. This increases efficiency and decreases diaphragm excursion, which in turn, reduces distortion.

It really depends on the type of speakers you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend. I advise you decide the basics first (for instance if you want a 2.1 or a 5.1).
