When my NS-10s weren’t working temporarily I got the Yamaha HS7 to stop gap, wildly different with super bright tweeters and lots of low end with the ported design and powered. Amazing speakers for well under a thousand.

Which one are those behind you (Red ones)?

I have M Audio BX 8 monitors and they sound great for my taste.

Do you have any thoughts on something like Slate VSX? I have a couple of presonus e5 monitors but don't have a great room, or the option to make loads of noise often with two young children often asleep, so they sound appealing but I'm a bit dubious of whether it's really a replacement for proper monitors

What about the Kali Audio LP-UNF? And do they have a amplifier hiss?

I have a pair of M-Audio bx8 graphites and they do a really nice job in my opinion and judging from feedback.

I just want the 3-way Focal’s…likely getting soon

which 1000$ pair of speakers did the designer said is better Than the 10 k ones ? if u can pick one for a fair price , doesn't have to be under 1k but between 1-5 k ? or would u save up and get a ATC SCM 25s or pmcs

I'm happy with PreSonus. I appreciate how revealing they are particularly given the low cost. The room in which one works matters a lot, that said.

Pick the ones that you like and can afford.

My JBL have been doing so good, but it's a very small space

I just got a pair of Yamaha NS-10 speakers for $350. Granted, you also have to buy a power amp. But I've got a $300 Crown amp that suits them just fine. So for $650, I've got the most popular studio monitors of all time. I would call that very affordable.

I'm gonna say this with utmost confidence. You WILL NOT get a better pair of speakers than the Kali LP-6 V2 for the money. You'll have to spend a lot more money to get anything slightly better. I got a pair used for $250. I still think it's the best deal on any audio purchase I've made.... ever.

that really is a great deal, it’s hard to find useful speakers at all in that price range. I paid €356 for my original LP-6 pair and the V2s are €398 a pair new.

Note

Ik multimedia has horrendous customer service once you’re out of warranty, Great sound for the price but i would strongly suggest going for another brand unless you want to get stuck with a set of speaker that don’t work anymore while they refuse to send or sell parts to repair centers.

Sir can you mix my track ??

Kali just sounded dark and plastic to my ears. Didnt like them at all. Im using early 90s hifi speakers to mix on and calibrated. Bought them used for 20 bucks. Sold my krk vxt8 i had before. and i dont need a sub with them either. Sounds great and translates well after calibration. I wont be buying studio monitors again untill i can afford much mlre expensive options. If i do it even then. Investing further into acoustic treatmen is probably enough. I have listened to my speakers in a friends studio which i used to share before. And ofc there they sounded even better. Studio monitors are overrated. Get good used hifi speakers, run sonarworks, get your acoustics in order an mix all day long. 👌Then if you start making enough money to buy atc, barefoot, amphion and such, go ahead. Thats my advice. Dont underestimate good budget friendly hifispeakers. Old or modern with calibration. I'm not gonna reveal which speakers i have because im still looking for more of them for a complete surround setup of identical speakers all around. Sorry.. 😈

@micindir4213

Жыл бұрын

You’re right! The biggest difference actually lies within A vs D class amp. Hifi is A 99% and studio active monitors are D class. I want to try MTMs tho, as they calibrate not only eq but phase too, which is next level. But yeah, late 70ies national speakers I’ve got (3 way, all paper cones, no tweeters) are way above my setup of tannoy 5 + 10 sub. Depth is phenomenal. I think it’s the A amp that’s perfectly matched to these speakers

Kali Audio were the ones I clearly recommended (choose the ones that fit your budget) then I explained there are also great options. That’s Kali Audio.

My entry level monitors are Adam Audio 2.1 system of A3X and a Sub7. They sound pretty good. But I’m thinking my next purchase will be 3 way monitors Adam Audio A8H.

Sterling

We would rather buy jbl, yamaha or tannoy from 40 years ago than any chinese made shrill cardboard box sounding speaker of today. oh and on't forget altec lansing!!

Imho. Anything with polypropylene cones like JBL, Mackie, Sterling, etc are bad. I would only trust KRK, Adam, and Yamaha in this budget because their cones are made of very ridgid material like Kevlar, Carbon Fiber, etc. The more ridgid a speaker material is the better it's ability to reset after vibration- this translates to a more accurate sound recreation than anything a "frequency spectrum chart" can tell you. If you get something that has questionable black cones which are just usually polypropylene + paper + whatever. Everytime your speaker makes a sound, that sound is actually carrying over into the next sound it makes which is slurring your audio image.

Really? Hmmm. So.... A guy who's old, and therefore suffering age-related loss, thinks cheap monitors today are as good as expensive monitors of old. My guess is the fact that today's cheap monitors sound NOW the same as older expensive monitors means only that his ability to hear the difference is diminished, NOT that today's are as good. They sound as good, but.... And, please note that I'm an old guy who's experiencing this effect. I think today's cheap monitors are as good as expensive ones too. But I'm honest enough to admit that it's my inability to HEAR that's behind my opinion.
