As Dave Bryce explained to me once at BBQ, the P series has more 'traditional' bass response. The S series has more 'true' bass response.I have the S3A and they offer plenty of bass for rock and jazz, but it's extremely tight bass. If you do electronica style (Broad stroke, I know) they will work, but you won't get all the bass hype. You can always pick up a sub to impress clients, though. The ADAMs are fantastic monitors. They won't make all your CD collectin sound good. They'll bring out all the flaws. They're brutally honest monitors. Your mixes will translate to many many systems. You don't really have to 'learn' them. If it sounds right on the ADAMs it gonna sound right pretty much anywhere else. This is my opinion and it is shared by many people, but you have to decide for yourself. Contact Dave Bryce and he'll be happy to talk to you. Also, Nathan at AtlasProAudio dot com or Fletcher at Mercenary dot com will give you lots of info. Be aware that monitors are a very personal thing and you must find some way to audition a pair before you buy. good luck Richard On Apr 4, 2004, at 3:46 PM, Remco Muntz wrote: > Some time ago I asked for a good (EUR 1500-2500 per set) active monitor > speaker.
