Your thoughts on these speakers? I can get a pair fairly cheap... around 250.00 and as I have 0 monitors right now.. Ive looked for reviews but cant find any.

What do you have to say about these?

thanks!

First of all, i'm an amateur/hobbyist in the field so my knowledge is somewhat limited...

I have a Technics SU-Z22 Amplifier and I was thinking of buying a console(Soundcraft Compact-4) and a pair of Tannoy Reveals(passive - less money since I have the amplifier) for home recording.

I am looking to buy monitirs for a large control room. I have 2500 for the pair. What are the best for that money. I have been looking at Dynaudio BM15A .

I've been mixing with B&W DM 14 speakers on my home stereo. Will I hear more detail with near field monitors?

Hi guys,

Budget is a concern with me. Also I'd like to soffit mount my monitors if I can.

Are there any very good reasons that you all know of to go with active, or passive monitors?

Any recommendations as far as great bang for the buck?

Cheers

I've have a set of JBL S38II Studio Monitors, how well do these work for mixing monitors? I'm new to home recording, I bought the JBLs awhile back for my home stereo, thinking I might also make use of them for home recording. They are suppose to have a flat response, they do sound great with my stereo.

This comes out of the "Importance of great monitors" discussion:

One guy's opinion was that:

"The discussion happening here seems to largely consist of people talking at cross-purposes. Surely there are two types of 'monitor'.

1. A reference monitor for giving you maximum info on mic placement, source quality etc.

I'm looking to replace my 10-year-old Tannoy System 8 NFM IIs with something that has a little more bottom end and is a little flatter across the critical 1K-3K band.

I went to GC in Sherman Oaks, CA today and listened to what they had set up in that price range:

1. JBL 6328Ps
2. Event ASP8s
3. Mackie 824s
4. KRK V8s
5. Alesis 820 DSPs

Hi all! I know these won't fit the "exclusive pro" standard, but how would you rate the event 20/20 bas V2? I've heard the old ones, but not the new. I allways thought the oldies deserved a second look, they weren't all flat but, once you got to know them, and to know how they handled lo freqs, mixes would translate very well. So I'm curious about the new ones...

Anyone?

I need some advice on Active Monitors. My budget is around the £400 mark. I have looked at:

Event TR6 active monitors
KRK RP6 Bi-Amlified Active Nearfield Monitors
