Monitors....?

[Jimfish]

yeah i had some reveals a few years back.. quite fun to listen to but the bottom end is just soooo ****in loose on the things - fun to listen to but not great when you listen to your music on another system..

I didnt like the reveals but the actives kick the shit out of things.

They are fantastic for techno production and such like. I bought mine new years ago. I have heard everything, and used most ,and nothing can touch the Circle 5s. I demo'd all the new stuff from 2003,2004 and still nothing comes close.

I feel they are a forgotten classics, people either ignored them or have never heard of them! Occasionally you see a 2nd hand pair for around £250-300 on www.soundonsound.co.uk which is basically a F***IN bargain.

If you are serious about techno production you would not replace these for anything.

PS You dont need the active ones, you just need a pair of pasives and a samson servo...

Does anyone here use the Mackie HR824's? I've been considering getting a pair but would like to hear from someone that actually owns a set. ;)

824s sound wicked.

[Miromiric]

anyone tried out the fostex pm-1's????

i love these babies and am getting a set tomorrow

[Jimfish]

well im using the PM-2's as main monitors at the mo and i have to say for a little under 500 quid im incredibly pleased with them :)

[dan the acid man]

im seriously looking into the fostex range, they look pretty damn good

[Basil Rush]

Yeah i heard some fostex ones the other day and was pretty impressed ... and I thought fostex made slightly plasticy tape machines :)

[ampassasinbirmingham]

we got a set yesterday. the stereo imaging is abseluteley blinding.

[Jimfish]

yeah, my one grumble with mine is the top end goes reall odd at high volume , it sounds like someone has just gone silly with a graphic eq - totally unbalanced. But at mid volume they are fantastic for the dosh, i can seriously reccomend them.

[heavy beats]

I would recommend the Tannoy Reveals either the blue ones (powered) or red ones (non powered). I know several producers with them and their tracks sounds super clean.
