Monitors

I use Tannoy SRM 10Bs and Genelec 1030As. I've got a pair of Behringer Truths on the way too.



The Tannoys are excellent, the Genelecs I'm getting to despise more and more.

Dynaudio BM5's and Mackies.



I DON'T use NS-10s.

PMC's, Sundholm's, and NS10's

I'm running with ns10s



Mike

A.D.A.M. S3A's. Absolutely incredible!

Ted.

Mackies, old JBL's, NHT's for surround, Sony boombox...and if anyone has some auratones lying around they don't want, i'd sure love to grab 'em! especially if they're shielded...

dammit, stop saying that!!!!!



i'm sure hooked on the hype...if anyone's looking for low mileage Mackies cheap...

:)

JBL 4412 in one studio; UREI 824 and NS-10 in the other. Privately I have Genelec 1029s, but I'm not mixing with them at the moment.

I'm using Mackies, NS-10's primarily, sometimes Genelec 1030 or 1031, and Nile 5's

JBL LSR28p's, NHT SuperOne's, and some cheap computer speakers (no sub).

Tannoy Reveal (passive) with Studer A68

PMC AB1 with Studer A68

Quested H108's with a Hafler 9505 amp. Sounds incredible! NS-10's too.

NS10 and Sony G7. The Sony G7 is a huge hi end speaker from the late seventies with a 15" bass speaker and they sound like a very big NS10 with lots of low end :)

I'm using the Mackies, Tannoy PBM6.5II's and Minimus 7's. I have a pair of Urei 809's that I don't use anymore. They're for sale if anyone's interested.

Mackie with NS10, tiny Realistic and a Sony Boombox for "reality check." I use Event 20/20P at home.

I use Genelec 1031A and JBL 4406

I am looking for a pair of monitors for my home studio. I need something not so expensive, maybe under 1K for the pair. I was told that Tannoy Reveal Actives where good and they cost like 600... Any other suggestions? What do you guys think of the Tannoys?



Thanks

Manuel

I have a pair of NS-10's which I hate. i just never got used to them. I also have a apair of Event 20/20's which I find a little boxy sounding and a little hyped in the low end. I am looking for something in the price range of $1,500 or less. I've been looking into the KRKV8's or the V88's any opinions?

Dynaudio BM15 (good), Yamaha NS-10 (bad, but trusty), JBL 4311B (ugly)

Hafler TRM8 and Tannoy PBM6.5

Allright... all you people that posted more than one pair and didn't mention your favs, go ahead and do so. One of the benefits of this kind of thing is hearing that a number of you DONT like the Genelecs (surpise!), or that MOST people like so-and-so monitors. So... have at it! :)

I’m pretty surprised at the negative Genelec opinion as well. Could some of you folks that don’t like them maybe elaborate as to why more specifically? Personally I’m very happy with my 1030A’s but then again they are my first pair of “pro” monitors.



I admit I did not get a chance to directly a/b them against other brands in the same room but compared them through memory of those others that I have heard in “real” studios.

Also, I do always "reality" check my mixes on my car system and a pair of big and ugly (but great sounding) sealed home builts.

I'll have a go but this is all so subjective!



I find the Genelecs very synthetic sounding, the bass isn't very detailed, the treble is very harsh and unmusical which may be down to the metal tweeter, I prefer the sound of silk domes. Although they sound very flat and should therefore be great for mixing, they just sound dead and lifeless rather than transparent.



Hope that helps!

What about the Yamaha MSP5 or MSP10, they are great and cheap. For my part I used to work w/ the Genelec family monitors so it's sometimes hard to hear some critics : ))



Am0s :D

I had bought Genelec 1031A's some 5 years ago based on their reputation alone. I could not have easily tried them (or any alternatives) before and they were getting great reviews... At first listening I felt something was plain wrong and further listening only reinforced the impression.

The most obvious and intolerable problem was that limiter thing behind the tweeters, not subtle at all. I tried rotating them, moving them around, but they just sounded false. Sold them after 3 months. I bought my present favourite monitors based on a two-day long comprehensive audition at the AES show. Don't trust the reviews anymore.

ADAM S3-A's, the only speaker i will use now
, got to love speakers you can hear a .1db gain change with EQ. and ya got to love them even more the first time you take your mixes elsewhere, can you say translation?

Hi Ya'll!



Just heard the new Earthworks monitors. Wow!!! Wait 'till you get a load of these! I think I'll switching soon.



Ciao,

i worked before with ns10, different tannoy's, dynaudio bm6a, genelec, klein & hummel, adam beat them all (some klein&hummel are in the same range).

I'm using Westlake(does that take some of you back a few years)NS 10s and Auratones.Maybe I'm crazy but I love my NS 10s.
