that is a nice set of speakers, but it's so hard to choose them. eery speaekrs says nice precices sound and clear audio and good woofers and loud high end blah blah..

produces unique imaging and outstanding transient response

Offering excellent value and great sound quality.

nique active monitor that is dedicated to a maximum in acoustic performance


quote:
These monitors allow you to hear every detail with astonishing impact & clarity.



my suggestion is, instead of buying 1 pair of BAD ASS speakers, get one good pair and another cheap one, that's the pro way. like 400 on nice near or mid field speakers and 100 on some nice little ones. it's good if you live with others, you can use the small ones at night time as well....

i have only been talking about it recently, is because I have been looking for speakers myself, and this was the advice i got for building studios..... it's a common trap amatures get stuck in getting one pair of speakers...

look at ANY studio pic, it's small speakers on smaller ones, or beside ones. it's normal...

Yeah man most places have what is commonly called 'grotboxes'

Some monitors that arent great but can really show up flaws in a mix.

Quite often these are the Yamaha NS10s. And as people often say 'if you can get a mix to sound great on them then it's likely to sound great anywhere'

I do have a shitty pair of passive Tannoy reveals, which ironically don't reveal much at all.

Not a fan of them at all but i'll keep them for referencing

before hip hop there was no bass heavy music. well that may not be true, but reggae wasn't as big either.

Sucks though, its restricting how easy it is for me to get cables, the A7s only have xlr and phono, my soundcard has jack and phono, but the phono is unbalanced so I'm having trouble finding balanced XLR to Jack >.<

Yeah I hear lots about the NS10s... I don't think I could mix flat on them without a lot of practice though... i intend to listen to music on the A7s as well so an ns10 frew response wouldn't be up to the job for me :p
