Re: Studio Monitor Upgrade
well i am just wondering how much of difference it makes to upgrade to higher quality monitors and wanted to get some opinions on that issue.
besides i think the hs 80 arent that clear in the mids and dont bring out the low end very well..

Re: Studio Monitor Upgrade
what i can say about my adam a7, they are crystal clear in the highs. its really a pleasure. though i use them for spinning, and not for production. (cause i dont produce not cause they are in any way bad)

Re: Studio Monitor Upgrade
Whatever you do, get something that has good bass. There's no way I'd have anything under 8". If you do get something under 8, get a sub too. I've listened to Genelec's, Mackie's, KRK's, Yahmaha, Behringer and I have Samson rubicon's. Honestly, the genelec's were my least favorite. I know, blasphemy, right? The Mackie's bumped the best probably. It's more than possible to mix down a track on probably any set out there $500.00 a set and up. Learning how to listen to your set of monitors and know what's going on is probably the most important thing.
Re: Studio Monitor Upgrade
adam are very nice but they do have problems with the build quality. 2 of my friends had to send theirs back because they broke within the first 3 months.
Re: Studio Monitor Upgrade
In contrast to what phase ghost said, I'd avoid 8" woofers if you are in a small room, when the low end is overwhelming, you can't hear sh!t else. Monitors are really only as good as the room you put them in, maybe treat your room and/or give some thought into what monitors would sensibly work in them. I could spend thousands on top flight monitors but it's not gonna mean jack sh!t if my room is terrible. And currently, it probably is.
