when i bought my mackies i tried about ten other types of similar monitors in the shop (digtal village in acton) and the Events were easily the worst sounding. the only description i could think of was plasticky. really unpleasant. i didnt like the KRKs either they sounded boxey, and the alesis were weak, pretty much everything else sounded ok, but for the bass and midrange detail, the mackies were king.::BLM:: wrote:There is no way I can save up anymore you see, as I have a family to think about with a limited income. I was tempted to sell my Events, but I guess I could keep them and use two pairs of monitors. I use a lot of freq's around 40Hz (for my dub techno stuff), so I assume it’s a must to have monitors that will go down that far. I just want my mixes to sound better on a variety of speakers and I feel the Events colour the sound too much. I’ll have a track rocking here, play it out and it sounds totally different. The Events also have a bit of weak high end as I often miss unwanted frequencies. I’m going to try some out tomorrow if I have the time, and then go from there.
i dont have a problem with the bass in my room at all, and i dont have any acoustic treatment, its got alot to do with the dimensions of the room, and positioning of the speakers.
its best to listen to lots of monitors in comparison , then you can really hear the difference, its almost pointless to listen to different peoples different opinions of their own monitors in their own environments, you have to check them all out yourself.
