We have been happy with the Tannoy System 600A amplified speakers, which I think are a bit less. There may be newer models out now.

Hi, Does anyone have suggestions for powered speakers/monitors that are less expensive than the recommended Genelec 1029A, but still work well in an AG room node? A few of our Genelecs have started to produce a hissing noise (replacing a hissing speaker with non-hissing Genelec speaker stops the hissing and vice versa). Since they cost about $550, it would be nice to know if anyone is successfully using something cheaper (preferably with an XLR input option) that performs well enough for AG meetings in a room node. Also, hints on how to reduce hissing or prevent damage to existing Genelecs are welcome. Thanks, Eric
