The dole office is paying you too much

[rhythmtech]

actually i just cancelled my order.

turnkey wanted photo proof of my credit card because i live in ireland.

there are loads of other companies doing them at the same price without all that hassle... just about to re-order them from someone else.

do turnkey actually want customers anymore?

[rhythmtech]

well turnkey lost out

i just managed to get my hands on a set of mackie 824's for 950 euro including shipping :cheese:

I was gonna say, don`t do it, those genelecs suck ass. Painful to use in all but the largest of rooms, and the bass is odd.
The mackies are cool, but you shoulda saved and got some Adams, or even better the new new intelligent JBL monitors.
They have sound detection and correction built in, and using the mic supplied you can set them up for your room to avoid standing waves, bass problems etc.
Loads of dosh, but worth every penny.

those genelecs are extremely deceptive, i know a few people who are extremely unhappy with them after buying them. The name is not everything remember.

Adam's all the way for me when i sort my finances out i think, but those JBL's sound the business, hopefully my local store will get some in for a good demo session

Check those babies out.
I got a demo when I went to the Soundcraft (Harman International) Warehouse to pick up my mixer today.
When the guy was showing me the room correction shit, I nearly fell over.

Stunning, expensive, but worth saving, and monitors are the most important thing in your studio anyway.

spending money that i dont have on sound detction monitors after already spending on acoustic treatment would be a bit too costly.. especially since im getting the mackies for the price im getting them at.. even at that price its overstretching the budget... and saving a few more moths isnt really an option as my alesis are really really pissing me off.

just had a look.. lovely lookin and the technology looks very interesting but they're way outta my price range..

[eyeswithoutaface]

half price if you order them from the states... probably work out cheaper than the mackies

nah.. if i order from states i have to add on 21% vat.. which brings them well above the 950euro for the mackies

ahh right

i'd still do it, whilst not denying they are a top class monitor, i never warmed to the mackies like most. Too much on the high end for my liking

saying that i wouldnt say no to a free pair

i think the highs are exactly what i need.. i've been living with m1 actives for the last two years and the lows were really affecting my mixes.. anyway the mackie's have a lot of room controls and filters.. so hopefully i should be able to get the flat sound im after..

but at that end of the scale its all kinda relative really isnt it.. whether you buy the adam, dynaudio, mackie.. its all serious quality gear.

[fatcollective]

hey baz, that 950 euro which is about £650 - is that for the pair of the 824's or singles?

Unless you can get the store to write "sample" on the box ;)

tried that with some skate shoes last year

under new laws, if the box is opened by customs and a receipt is found, the company can be fined and in extreme circumstances (i suppose it means on a huge scale) they can lose their license to trade within the eu.. now thats a bit of a worst case scenario.. but it seems to have scared the non-eu companies enough to make them play by the book :grr:
