At the moment in my home project studio i'm using HiFi audio equipment for monitoring which I know is not the best choice but at least it's better than just headphones. I'm currently using a pair of Boston Acoustics CR85s and a Yamaha RX 595 Stereo Reciever. The reason I'm posting this is perhaps someone can help me with a little problem I'm having. When I mix down with these monitors I end up with what my ears think is a decent mix. But when played on something else it is almost constantly bass heavy. I have to keep reburning mixdowns and playing them on 4 or 5 different stereo setups to get a feel for what it will sound like almost anywhere, this is starting to get a little old because sometimes its not until the 8th or 9th mixdown until I find something that is even close to what I'm looking for. What should I do? Should I add a sub to my current setup hopefully gaining the ability to hear the boomy bottom end that I'm getting in the mix- downs or drop the whole thing and buy real monitors? I do know that these speakers are relatively accurate and I can get exactly what i'm looking for in the higher frequencies. I'm trying to keep the cost down because i'm making no money on this, it's just for fun. Thanks a lot.
