Dear forum usres,
I plan to change my monitors in few months, and I would need your advices or your experiences about some models that seem great for the work I do.
I'm a recording and mixing engineer, and I mainly work on classical music and jazz.
I'm looking for monitors with relative flat response, good dynamic.
I don't need to have the same accuracy taht for a mastering work, and my room is quite small. So I'm interested in bookshelf type monitors.
I selected some models that seem great for this. I already know one of them (ProAc Studio 100).
- ProAc Studio 100
- Bowers & Wilkins 805 S
- Hot House Pro PRM165 (http://www.hothousepro.com)
- any suggestion ?
And what models of poweramps would you advise me to feed these monitors?
I precise that my budget is not enormous, about $2500 or less for monitors.
Thanks for all your advices.
Regards
Vincent

Thank your for your reply Mr. Massive Mastering, I think 802 S3
Thank your for your reply Mr. Massive Mastering,
I think 802 S3 are maybe a little too big for my room.
I have a quite small control room, and I will often have to go out on location recording with my future monitors, so 802's are quite big for me....
Thank you one more time.

I'm familiar with both the B&Ws and the ProAcs but not the hot house. Sorry.
In either case, out of the B&W and the ProAcs, you're going to get a very fine speaker. My personal preference out of the two would be the B&W though. I find them very easy to listen to for extended periods of time - far more than most any other speaker out there.
For absolute accuracy, you might want to check out paradigm studio 20's. They are absolutely breath taking!
Of course, I must also put in a plug for the Dynaudio BM15s. If set up correctly with adequate space, these monitors are quite nice.
