Well, my last question generated a healthy dose of banter, so I thought I'd ask another. (Although this is more of a pontification.)
Recently I bought a copy of Propellerhead Reason to see if there's any chance I can put together some not-completely-sucky music. I've also wanted to rig up a modest "studio" in our guestroom to produce said music. So I wandered into Guitar Center to listen to and compare some small, relatively inexpensive monitors, namely: KRK Rocket 5 Gen 2 M-Audio BX5a Deluxe Mackie MR5 Yamaha HS50M Now, these are all supposed to be flat, sterile studio monitors. Theoretically, shouldn't they all sound the same, or at least VERY similar? But you know what? They all sounded VASTLY different. As different as any bunch of similarly-sized hi-fi speakers you might stick together. So here's my opinion at this point. There ain't no "flat" speakers. There ain't no "accurate" speakers. You pick the ones that abuse your particular ears the least and you buy them. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ~~~ SB3 (wired - 6.3.1) | Home-brew PC running XP Pro | DENON DRA-395 | PSB Stratus Bronze (2) | Outlaw Audio LFM-2 (1) | DIY Speaker Cables | Dayton Audio Interconnects ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50711 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
