Hello, I am in a situation here, After working for a while with a pair of Mackie hr824's that I'm pretty pleased with, I need to swap them for something with a smaller footprint. Iv'e been looking into the blue sky 3 way system,(system 2?), but I havent heard all too much about them, and what I have heard hasnt been so great. Ive mixxed long term on a lot of different, very colored, yet pleasing "hi-fi" passive speakers, and Ive learned that after a month or two I can compensate pretty well for the coloration, and get mixxes to translate(on almost any speakers I mix with). I would obviously prefer accurate monitors over the guesswork colored speakers entail, but for the size/footprint I'm looking for, I don't think thats going to happen, even with an active sub.

Prior to owning the hr824's I was mixxing on a pair of JBL 4310's, I'm one of those "it's in the ears not the gear" kind of guys, And I managed to pull a few years of pleasing mixxes out of them, After switching to the hr824's I was very pleased with the clarity, and definition, but if you have ever heard a pair of 4310's in good condition, you know the hr824's on the low end can sound a little sterile in comparison. (ex: drummer=I Can't feel my kick drum).

So what it all boils down too, I now have to move to an even smaller room, and the hr824's are just too big, not only physically, but theres a lot of "boom" to the low end and little "thump" if you know what I mean, despite speaker placement.

Right now I'm looking for a 3 way active system for $2000 or less, That is accurate and will translate well, with some good but accurate/defined thump on the low end, and can push out some decent dB's.

The room size is about Wx8 Lx10 Hx8 (it's a small project studio trailer)

The speaker placement will either be a 4 ft stereo spread about 2 feet in front of the mix position, or a 6 ft stereo spread about 7 feet behind the mix position. (Yes, Eww, I know).

The room is tiny, I have no experience in enviroments this small, and with such an awkward mix position, I feel pretty in over my head.

Any and all advice is beyond greatly appreciated,

Thank you,

(edit: I apologize if some of you don't feel like replying to another "what monitors" thread, I have spent a few hours already searching the forum, I cant find any threads relating to the physical footprint of the monitors, or a recommendation on a small nearfield system w/ sub thats accurate and defined, thanks")
