How does this compare to Presonus 4.5? Actively looking for a small monitor which will be used mainly for music. I have space constraint so the smaller the better. This will sit beside my monitor and will be like 5 inches from the wall. JBL LSR305 would have been my choice based on the reviews but they are a bit big and I read they are required to be further out from the wall to sound good. Due to space I'm also considering edifier R1280T. This is just for occasional use, for serious music I have Focal Aria speakers.
My candidates are: H5 - Flat sound - a bit wider than Presonus 4.5 Presonus 4,5 - A bit smaller than H5 JBL - Good for listening to music - Quite big - Requires to be positioned further from the wall
My worry on these H5s are that they are too flat for music listening. Anyone compare this with the Presonus e4.5? Like JBL, does H5 or Presonus requires to bit further from the wall to be good? What is the recommended distance from the wall?

CliffCriHope it's not too late, but they're terribly flat. They're perfect for tracking while mixing music or sound, but their bass response is minimal. Not ideal for casual listening.
I advise you don't shop for near-field studio monitors if you just want to listen to music, unless you want to compare mixes to your own projects.

djjsutDefinitely not too late djjsut. Thank you for your comment. I'll tick this one out then... Yea I'm only going to use it for casual listening. Mostly while in front of computer or need to watch quick clips over the internet.

CliffCriKlipsch - makes some reasonable built for computer with a decent subwoofer. Also the Bose Companion are highly rated if you aren't a Bose Hater.
