funny -- i just bought a pair of studio monitors this afternoon. take a look at the KRK V6. i'm just getting started in production and this is the first pair of monitors i've owned, but I did quite a bit of research and listening before settling on these. I can tell you already that they are very good at reproducing subtleties without coloration. the others I have heard in the same price range -- Event, M-Audio, Mackie, Yamaha -- seem to overemphasize one aspect or another of the sound. For instance, electronic music sounded very good on the Event TR8, but play something with bass guitar and the lower frequencies sound muddy and undefined.
The two main qualities with monitors are your ears, and the space you put them. As with any other speakers, what sounds great to me might sound terrible to you, and vice versa. I would definitely make sure that you can return them if they do not sound right once you get them home. also, Sound on Sound has some highly objective monitor reviews -- www.soundonsound.com - jobot ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, June 27, 2004 0:00 am Subject: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx > > > hiya, list! > > > i'm planning to get a pair of studio monitors, preferably active ones. > > anything u can recommend, any positive/negative experiences? > > > most probably i'll go to Berlin to buy 'em and few other devices since > professional audio gear is rare and rather expensive in my homeland > Latvia [except old soviet analogue synths without midi support, > that is]. > i fancy second hand gear as well, maybe people in Berlin can gimme > a hint where should i look for it? > > > on a side note, what can u say about dbx 266xl compressor? > > > /z99 > > > > >
