I’ve owned 5’s and 6’s and used 8’s and 10’s, as you say there are probably objectively “better” monitors but for some powered speakers that are of a high quality both sound and build wise I have no qualms recommending them.

I don’t know if I would consider myself an “audiophile” but I do DJ for myself and like to have a decent set of speakers.

I have owned a few pairs of KRK Rokit speakers and currently have a set of Rokit 6’s. I like them for their overall pretty neutral sound, ideally I would have a sub along with it but space is an issue for me right now so I can make do. They have a sufficient amount of bass for my small flat by themselves to be honest.

I run them through my DJ controller (Traktor S4 mk3 if you care) and have run past pairs I’ve owned through other DJ controllers and basic focusrite USB audio interfaces.

I wouldn’t say these are super high end but I find they offer a very good listening experience for not a great deal of money (I always buy second hand where I can), this set set me back around £160 if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the recommendation :D

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out!

Fair enough, research time for me! Thanks for the reply

Any recommendations of a good alternative on android? I’m thinking I’ll move to librewolf on desktop but they don’t appear to have an android version.

Nah not shavings, it was a chocolate sponge cake with a chocolate sauce over the top

Not “fast food” but a junk food, cadburys used to do a chocolate sponge cake in a tin that was the best. Im not even a massive fan of chocolate but these things were great!

Generally what “in my opinion” means.

I found it awkward as shit to play on the Steam Deck so I ended up connecting an Xbox controller to actually make it a decent experience. The deck is already absurdly large and then having to carry around a controller and cable as well if I want to play is just not worth it IMO.

Ours are getting so out of hand that they are starting to encroach on the TV but I’m not even mad. TV looks better when viewed through a jungle anyway xD

Our outdoor plant game is much weaker though, I feed all the neighbourhood birds and the pigeons love to get into the outside plant pots and wreck out shit!

Ah OK, im with you now. If there is a way to do that then I don’t know how I am afraid. I would personally just change up the connections so you could use the TV as one of them purely for the ease of it as I like to make my life as easy as possible xD

Sorry I can’t help any further with that but good luck with your endeavours, if you choose to go stremio I think you’ll be impressed compared to kodi :D

It absolutely is, I even set up stremio on a fire stick for my sister and she is absolutely technologically illiterate and would never have understood kodi but with stremio she is doing just fine!

I’m not really sure what you are asking in the second part though. If I’m running stremio on my laptop then I have my airvpn connection running in the background so everything is going via that connection.

On the fire stick I use the proton VPN app and open that up, connect there then all the traffic on the fire stick is forced to go through there.

Using either method the stremio traffic has to go via the respective VPN. Maybe I’m missing something with the question though so if I’m being stupid please say and I’ll try and help further :)

I use a hacked fire stick but pretty sure the exact same setup is achievable on android TV.

You can use stremio + torrentio and utilise your current realdebrid subscription then just install your preferred vpn as well.

Fire up the VPN and connect so that all your traffic is going through that VPN connection and then load up stremio.

I used to use kodi and debrid and this stremio setup is night and day better and easier to use, my gf would refuse to use kodi but this operates so much like Netflix etc that she uses it all the time now as well.

Likewise for me, 320 is enough as I’m not playing my music on a proper sound system or the like. In that case I can recommend soggfy for it’s ease of use as it is just a modified Spotify client, you play the music you want and it intercepts the incoming stream to rip the music. Nice and easy.

I just make playlists and leave it over night to play etc

I use soggfy a lot for Spotify, with a premium account this will rip 320 mp3’s for you however I think that is the best you are able to get out of Spotify. You won’t be able to get any lossless rips from Spotify regardless of which method you use as far as I am aware.

I think it is still pretty great, at least for the genre that I listen to it is. You will not find this music on traditional torrent sites and the like where as you can find a lot of it on soulseek. Private trackers may have more of these releases but I cannot be fucked with all that bs.
