http://www.krksys.com/krk-ergo.htmlGot the Ergo as a gift. Used it one day just to check it out. It works fine, but I already have passive RC in the Room (panels) and the Ergo is good, but not as good as the rest of my high end system.
New: $499 online. My price
$375 now $349; now includes both shipping and Paypal. Have original box, accessories, etc.
Perfect for:
1. Starter computer audio sytem - DAC and pre in one box. Great with powered or desktop speakers.
2. Starter Audiophile system. Good component. Great value. Build a system around this for not much money. Replace it with something really high end when you can afford it.
3. Home studio: Use the RC to get a "portable" mix. One that will sound the same wherever it is played back, b/c you've taken your room out of the equation.
4. Portable audio. It's the size of a hefty paperback book, and solidly built - it's designed for pro audio. Take it with you when you need a portable DAC/PRE
5. System with a sub: The RC will help your sub blend perfectly with the other speakers through the internal digital crossover within the ERGO
The Ergo can control two sets of speakers independently. Or use it to control a 2.1 system, with perfect blending of the sub via Lyngdorf RC.
