hello - I've been checking out monitors as well, and am curious if
anyone has these:
http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=21288&TempID=8&Method=2&CategoryID=0&BrandID=0&PriceRangeID=0&PageNum=0&DepartmentID=7&DepartmentKeeper=&pagesize=10&SortMethod=0&Word1=monitor&Contains=%22%2Amonitor%2A%22&Search_Type=SEARCH&GroupCode=nonetodaythanks
and what your thoughts are on them. or if anyone can recommend something
similar & inexpensive for use with recording/making music/mixes using a
computer/mixer/decks all setup near each other. the small speakers I
have now are pretty crappy, and not even made for this - so most
anything will be a step up for me.
thanks

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

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?
