Looks very neat.
I've got an older Logitech Z-series 5.1 set.
It's perfect for me. Great sound if coupled with an effect tool such as FXSound.

One of the main reasons I went for it.. tired of the cable mess that comes with the 2.1 and 5.1 systems and the space they take..

Dirty equalisers. I like Boom 3D more, and it is cheaper. I don't like DFX simply due to them releasing the same thing over and over again with a renewal on something which is supposed to be LTD.

There are some good VST plugins out there, but I am too lazy with equalising, except come to post-production. I simply take to long to get something that I can get accustomed to in pre. Dirty equalisers are cool, choose a pre-set and go, but it isn't optimal.

I still have a Logitech Z5500, but I run that through a DAC to get a little more. My daily speakers are an aged Creative Inspire T6500.

I want monitors now, and I don't know what to get , but I want something which isn't dependent on a sub, all I want is accuracy.

These were on sale for R2800 a while ago, and just as I've done all my research, the sale ended.... I'm hoping they go on sale soon, as the reviews are really impressive, especially for the price. Looking at the myBB history, Edifier does seem to have a sale every now and then.
They are on Loot for ~R3500 at the moment, but only the black ones.

I also considered the Logitech Z623, which when listening to this comparison, reminds me of my Z5500s (currently on TV duty). It has that same overpowering, boomy bass.

I originally thought of getting the Logitech Z533s, and they seem pretty good.

Then of course there's the Edifier R1280DB and R1280T which also seem really good value for money.

Some of the other reviews I watched:
Comparison videos are of course very difficult to use, as your existing speakers will usually not be good enough to really appreciate what the speakers sound like, and many headphones will add some colour, especially if they are gaming headsets.

My audio knowledge is limited, I have to confess.

I've used Boom3D and it's cool, I agree. For some odd reason my integrated Realtek sound is better with DFX/FXSound. I get clearer and louder sound with it.
I'm also not a big bass lover. My bass on my woofer is set quite low in general.

Hopefully someone can assist you with suggestions for good monitors.

I have started doing post-production, hence the need, mostly voice. I know what I am looking at, but I don't know what to pick, but this is something I will consider later in Q4. Currently, I am looking at Solid State Logic plugin options than monitors because in the meantime my monitor headphones are more appropriate than a stereo speaker set.

I worked for a production company for a number of years until recently. I'm a Sys/Network Admin though.
That said, their knowledge of and general quality of their audio samples were horrendous to say the least.
People emphasise a lot on the visual, I'm glad you take audio seriously as well.
I'm in the position where no one takes constructive input. He's just the IT guy, so why consider what he says....

Best wishes with your work ahead.
