how to the old ones compare to the new ?
i have the old 1029 and 1030s. I did find using the yamaha hm80s less detailed and easier to listen to over long periods but somehow not as nice .
The 1030s have a cherry red finish. how cool is that.
i have a 4 speaker setup. The front isn't really that important as I really just use it for listening to classical music / dvds. And i suppose woofer, not so important either.
I bought these from this asian computer geek that used them for video games. 1000 for all 4. He was originally going to sell them 600 a pair.
Here's an update to my home studio setup. Waiting on the landlord for approval to drape the walls and install acoustic panels.

I haz synths:
Not much, especially compared to what I used to have. I haven't touched either in a couple months, TBH. The JP8000 is great, but the NL2X has yet to impress me, especially vs the NL3.
Always nice, but what happened Alan? Are you in the box or did the economy kill your GAS?

Nothing to do with the economy, my income has gone up 25% since Jan 2008. I'm going mostly in the box, yeah.. there just isn't anything interesting out there for hardware synths. But I'm *REALLY* looking forward to the Waldorf Pulse 2... if they ever release it.
u didnt like the wave? i was curious on it a while but i still think i want a 2x instead purely because of the dry sound from it and easy interface. lackign efex is whats holding me back though.

What I don't like about the Nord Modular is that its tied to desktop software that is end-of-life. Clavia is not supporting the Modular anymore. I guess if you don't have the Engine, it is possible to program it without the software. But doing so is similar to programming the Yamaha TX-802. It's possible, but not fun.. at all.
What about the NL3? That remains to be one of my favorite synths. There is no other synth like the Nord Lead 3...
