Could use a couple of home studio monitors, on monitor out from an amplified mixer/PA. Would these get close?

Yeah, typically quality caps are used in high end speakers. But these CB5s are the opposite of high end, IMO. :)

I have had the Logitech z623 set up for at least 5 years. It is a fantastic set up and I would highly recommend them.

Maybe it's personal preference. Polks are bright sounding to me. Klipsch are even more bright sounding. So if these CB5 aren't as bright, I might actually like them.

I did say Receiver required as well, so yes, there is no work around. Yet some may already have one and want to upgrade from some crappy little satellite speakers.

I've read 15-20 years max, assuming electrolytic caps are used, but they'll start going off spec long before that and changing the sound signature. The changes are gradual, so it's not like you'll...
