I've heard 'em, and they're okay for $99 speakers. they're nice if you need something portable -- my pal brought a pair to Detroit so we'd have something to screw around with Ableton and watch dvd's on in the hotel. I'd say they're more on the level of good computer speakers than cheap professional monitors.
i swear to god they haven't paid me off, but give the KRK RP-5 a listen. they sound real similar to the V6's and at $300/pr they're an absolute steal. http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKRP5 - jobot ----- Original Message ----- From: lisa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, June 27, 2004 4:34 pm Subject: Re: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx > hello - I've been checking out monitors as well, and am curious if > anyone has these: > > http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=21288&TempID=8&Method=2&CategoryID=0&BrandID=0&PriceRangeID=0&PageNum=0&DepartmentID=7&DepartmentKeeper=&pagesize=10&SortMethod=0&Word1=monitor&Contains=%22%2Amonitor%2A%22&Search_Type=SEARCH&GroupCode=nonetodaythanks > > and what your thoughts are on them. or if anyone can recommend > something > similar & inexpensive for use with recording/making music/mixes > using a > computer/mixer/decks all setup near each other. the small speakers > I > have now are pretty crappy, and not even made for this - so most > anything will be a step up for me. > > thanks > > lisa > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > funny -- i just bought a pair of studio monitors this afternoon. > take a look at the KRK V6. i'm just getting started in > production and this is the first pair of monitors i've owned, but > I did quite a bit of research and listening before settling on > these.
