Budget monitors

[judas_beast]

I've got the M1 MkII's, and so have a few friends. I agree with what an earlier poster said, they CAN sound far too basy, but if they are set up right, far enough away from a wall and angled properly, I think they give a good response. A mate I used to live with had Genelecs and another housemate had Tannoy's, set up right they were all much of a muchness.

You can get the M1's on ebay for a ton now too.

I've got M1MKII's,too. What I don't like on this speakers is that they can sound too bassy. Hand in hand with it you have to monitor more loudly to hear all the freq spectrum,properly,. and then your ears feels the fatigue much earlier. or at least mine do so.

I am thinking of sell them and buy some new,. I will probably choose between Adam A7, Dynaudio BM5A,, or Mackie HR624. will see..

Save up and buy mackies

You are unlikely to ever need another speaker, plus you can't put a value on not going deaf.

Yep, Mackies are quite highly rated by people in techno, but tbh I didnt hear too good words on them from other musicians. As I read many articles and compares of Adam, Dynaudio and Mackie,. Mackie was not going out as winner. :confused..

Adams out of the choice of all 3 for me, their accoustic research and high end stuff is the bizz, and I think it translates down to their lower priced stuff.

I`ve never been a huge fan of the mackies, they are good, but I think a lot of people use them because they are just told to, and don`t really know what to listen for. I don`t find them versatile enough, and in my opinion they are a little too tight in some areas.

It`s all down to personal taste though.
Get your speakers on demo loan or go and use some at other peoples places.

All our opinions here are based on personal preference, so really you should ignore us all and try yourself.

Just to throw a spanner in the works I¬ve heard some very good reports from some studio engineer mates of mine, of the Yamaha HS80M actives.
They are guys used to the old Ns10, but they swear by these new babies as being really accurate reference monitors.
