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.

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? Originally Posted by dirty_bass

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.

I own Mackie HR624's and love them.
Very accurate and crisp sound.
Its not just the sound either, they are built really well.
the small things like the on\off button on the front, XLR, Phono and Jack connectors all make life easier, not major i know but things you miss when using other monitors
The 824's would be better but only if you have a decent sized room, for my bedroom studio 624's are perfect.
Everyone who has been round here has liked them, quite a few people wanted to buy a pair after using mine hehe

Yeah there is a shop out here which has a MASSIVE set of genelecs in it. Dance Music Records in Shibuya.
The sound is very solid but they feel so angular that the sound hurts. Great for monitoring I guess, but I have no ****ing idea why they have them in a record shop. I cant imagine working there! Migraine city.
