Studio Monitors
2001-03-01 by Adam Calaitzis
I have been recently trying monitors to upgrade. I have yet to try the JBL LSR28's but so far I like the HHB Circle 5 active Biamped along with a Event 15inch subwoffer. This gives me a full range set-up down to about 28htz. serious volume, and clean. The makies I found to be to hyped. Like small monitors trying to sound like big ones. Don't get me wrong, they sound great, just a little too great for me. Fine for writing and listening and having fun, but perhaps not so accurate for mixing a variety of styles of music. The event PS8 I found to be a bit underpowered, clip far to soon for me. Sounded pretty good however. The genelec 1029 were a little to small for my room, and the 1030 way too expensive here in Australia. The Dyneaudio BSM6 again a little to small and the BSM10 sounded great but were huge sitting on the console shelf, plus I liked my JBL 4412's in the wall better. I have yet to try (but are going to) Yamaha MSP10, KRK expose 8's, JBL LSR28's . But I think the HHB's may be the one's for me.
