    hey audioinjection, did you go with the dynaudios? i've been looking into getting some bm6a's (or maybe some adam p11a). going to give them both a test run, but would be good to hear what you thought about them :)

    i haven't picked them up yet because of some financial issues, but i really do want to get those and i'm 99.9999% sure that i'm going with these. after comparing them with the mackie's, the dynaudio's sound much better i think. but like mark said, this was in the studio at the shop.......maybe they have some cool return policy so i can try them out a bit and compare the 2 at my studio

    but $1000 for the pair, i gotta save my pennies hehe

    I haven't heard the mackies but am familiar with the Dynaudio's and they are very good monitors indeed. You wouldn't go wrong with them Imo

    I would say any decent set of monitors in this range would do a good job if you take time to a) get the room and acoustics right and b) familiarize yourself thoroughly with their individual character and how that translates to other systems

    Alot comes down to personal taste after that

    Get some Genelecs!

    I have the mid-size 8030s and they were reasonably priced at 1100EURO!

    Personally I would check Dynaudio BM5a and Adam A7. Those Adams should be pretty good for the price, around 1k USD/pair..

    Man those genelecs are like having a road drill in your ears. In all but the largest of rooms those things kill me, and they seem a little weird with the bass.

    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    Maybe the problem with bass has something to do with the low frequency driver which is only 5"., or?

    Anyway this Genelecs looks like very overpriced for what they can do. just my opinion.

    yeah i've seen those genelecs but haven't heard them........to be honest they dont look very appealing to me (they look like desktop computer speakers heh), and for that price i can get bigger speakers, like the HR824's, and get great quality as well

    There is only really one set of genelec worth going for, but they are well out of that price range. I have used them quite extesivly and man they absolutely rock -


    I have to say that i really liked these genelecs. They had the best stereo imaging ive heard and i could blast em for an hour with hardly any ear fatigue.

    Anyway, the Makies are a safe bet, i would also check out the Adams, or possibly stretch your buget to thier big brother the 824's as the bass responce is better.
