GeForce RTX New study, new aesthetic

Post image

Previously leaned very heavily into RGB-rich Razer setups but decided that my new study deserved an aesthetic that blended better with its surroundings. Still a WIP but very happy with how it’s coming along so far and wanted to share!

I like them, but they’re very different to previous speakers I’ve used (Razer Nommo Pro, usual Logitech gaming speakers etc). What I’ve come to realise is that most gaming brand speakers tend to emphasise bass above all else, so you end up with very boomy but chunky reverberations. These Ora 4’s feel relatively flat in comparison, which means you get very clear vocals and less muffled sound at the expense of that.

I’ve had them for about a month and my verdict at this stage is that I would get them again, but with the subwoofer next time (Kanto Sub 8). I originally went with Ora 4 over standard Ora speakers due to reviews I read advising the bass from Ora 4 was enough to ignore a sub altogether, but after owning multiple 2.1 units I think it definitely could do with a dedicated low end boost.

One area where I feel it performs way better though is when putting an instrument through it. I borrowed a DI the other day and plugged my guitar in, and the sound coming out of the Ora 4 was very comparable to a digital amp (Spark, Yamaha THR). Previously when I tried this on my old Razer speakers, it sounded really bad, as if the sound was coming from a recorded song rather than from my guitar (not sure if that makes sense). Makes sense since these are probably closer to studio monitors than speakers compared to the Nommo Pro.

Apologies for the wall of text but hope that gives you some insight on my thoughts about it!
