So here's one that may not get talked about a lot.

I hear a lot of talk here about the importance of preamps, and that the pros will sometimes grab a cheap mic, but they never run it through a cheap preamp. I'm beginning to understand tht pres are very important.

What's up peeps?

I'm willing to spend $500 on some active monitors and I have come to like these two. Which would you choose and why? Also, anything else I should look at / listen to in this price range? I like the 8" woofer on the BX8s, but I think the Yamahas are probably the better monitor.

I was thinking about the Event Tuned Reference Monitors (TR6, TR8 or TR8XL) and am currently using M-Audio BX5 monitors, which are not sufficient. Any others I should be looking at?

I'm sorry guys. a lot has been covered on monitors, but I've come to a point in which I'd like specifics.

I want to replace my Event TR8's...I don't like them!

I was looking at these to replace the TR8's:

-Wharfedale 8.2 actives
-Yamaha MSP5's
-KRK V6's

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good amp to power pair of new Tannoy Reveal 8?
Someone said that the amp taht's good for NS10s will be a good mach for Tannoy Reveals as well. Is that true?

Thanks!

P.S. I can spend up to $600 for an amp.

I have a pair of Event TR8's and I can't mix anything that translates properly! I've been using them for a long time now, have changed my room, treated my room with help from the acoustics guys, changed my listening position. .and still! The funny thing is. my mixes sound terrific on the monitors then when they get to a different pair, my car, my stereo. crap!

Hi guys,

I'm quite undecided as to which pair of active monitors to upgrade to... both being cheaper monitors, but I can get a pair of MSP5A's for $800 Australian, or a pair of Tannoy Reveal Actives for $900... as for the sound, its quite close competition between them- although the Tannoys are a steal considering their retail price down in Australia.
