In your experience, Edwin, what are good speakers to look for?

Yamaha NS10s are really quite crappy sounding speakers. their mids are
painful and lows non existent. It really depends on what your goals are. I
wouldn't really expect true fidelity from the carvins and certainly not 
the
NS10s. You get what you pay for for the most part. To my ear you get even
less with the Yamahas. If you want beater speakers for whatever, the
Carvins might be a good way to go, but make sure you can send them back if
you don't like them.
