Hmm.

The event precision 8s in the 600-1200 range. THe adam audio in the 1200-4000 ranger then for the top speakers ive ever heard giving the flatest response and most accuracey would be the barefoot monitors.... Comparing the maudios to the adams and saying the sound the same is horrible. |
Lighten up, eh?

I'm not hailing the JP as the end-all synth. It does the supersaw very well, and the supersaw sound as we know it is probably about 10 years old. And it's not that expensive.
Okay, so why are you so pissed that people like it? It's a bit ridiculous, really.
Originality, my friend, is not necessarily dependent on instrumentation, either. I've been experimenting with very complex music that utilizes a JP supersaw. If you don't like the JP's saw, don't use it, but don't try to force synth choices on others with the iron fist of God and deem all who like the JP80x0 "n00bs."

| Originally posted by emc^2 Listen, not to take away from Adams, they are great monitors - no questions asked. I am not saying that M-Audio is better or you should buy it. What I am saying is that in side-by-side comparison (and this being completely subjective, based on our analisys) - they sounded pretty damn close. The test was ran in a studio environment with proper acoustic setup. The test consisted of: 1. Running white noise at different bands 2. Running pink noise at different bands 3. Testing each major frequency range from 30Hz - 22Khz 4. Actual listening test of various music styles: classical, vocal, jazz, rock, dance, and instrumental 5. Basic spectrometer test 6. Feel test (feeling acoustic energy by placing your hand near the cones) Yes, the M-Audios did have several dips (if I recall correctly, around 180Hz and 12Khz) but overall, fared very well next to Adams. It wasn't a quick 5 minute listening test. We spent about 3 hours or so. I'll stick by my comments: if you have the means and are looking for professional grade, no compromise sound - ADAM IS YOUR CHOICE. if you are on a budget and need to have sound quality as close to perfection as possible, M-AUDIO is a TERRIFIC CHOICE, especially considering THE PRICE. Not everyone can shell out close to $4000 for monitors, so, hence my comment. And as a side question... Dude, I'm just curious - what's up with all the aggression that seems to be just lurking behind the surface? srsly? Lighten up, eh? |

| Originally posted by fr0st I just didn't like the authoritative tone you used. And that sounds like a pretty good test. I demoed them at a friends studio we tossed them up against the adams as i wanted to purchase a new set of speakers under 600 bucks(i ended up with event tr8's). We used lavry blue converters and listened to various pieces of music.. I found that the m-audio had deffinate trouble producing a good even bass response and often just ended up sounding like garbage in the low end and for dance music its very important for a speaker to be organized in the low end(all speakers in the sub 600 do this)... And the sound overall was deffinately not as tight it was very loose... I ended up with thee tr8's as i had the previous model and was familiar with the crap they put out.. But if i had the cash id def get the precision 8's over the adams or the mackies. As they sound fucking great for the cost... And if i had 4k to drop on monitors id def just save up another 5k and get the barefoots... |
Decided for my Christmas list:
POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE 7800GTX 512MB
ASUS A8N SLI PREMIUM
AMD 4800+ X2 DUAL-CORE PROCESSOR
About �1800 in total, so it'd be a damn expensive list for me

Though currently nothing can beat the benchmarks 2x 7800GTX cards in sli. (well that is until R520 come out in Crossfire...!!)

^^^^ all of it and a personal private tutor (suitor) to go with
I'd like some speakers that dont click constantly. (They click even when turned off... they're really quite annoying)
I'd like a new mixing desk as my Behringer has a really bad signal-to-noise ratio and it's really pissing me off. Any potential replacement is likely to be way beyond the budgets of girlfriend, family etc so I guess this is one for me to buy.
Studio stuff which is actually on my Xmas list includes a new mixer stand, and a portable air-conditioning unit and fan, as my studio gets way too hot in the summer. Basically all the boring stuff I can't be bothered to buy myself.
Oh, and a Virus TI.
