QSC K8 vs. HDTV

I happen to have a HDTV... LG SCARLET.. I love it it's so cool.

But if I had the choice I would no question trade it for the QSC K series speakers. The sound is so good! Just feels so nice and is such a joy to hear my fav songs being played through them.

I find myself downstairs spinning records while my friend is upstairs watching TV.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Just go to the store and have a listen to these 1000W powered monsters. They don't just offer power they offer quality.

QSC K Series had RCA inputs

Yep, which means I can use them with the tape out or booth out from my mixer without having to get an RCA to XLR connector.

At home I have a nicer mixer with XLR outputs but my friend has a DJM-400 with RCA outs. I showed up with these and bypassed his receiver. Which was great cause the last party he had the receiver kept clipping and even turned off at one point because it was overheating.

He also was floored about the bass and quality of these.

I wish these were out a few years ago when I forked out so much for a home setup that didn't sound even half as good as these.

The funny thing is that when I went to the store and discovered these I had in mind to buy studio monitors. I used to own KRK back a few years. But then I heard these and thought to myself. I really want something I can crank all night and not be afraid to damage. Also, I wanted something that had bass and I could take with me to playout at house parties and stuff. I really couldn't do that with studio monitors. I would be too afraid they would get damaged. Not these K series. They are built like tanks. Even more so than the Mackies because even in the back the volume knobs are recessed and won't break if something slams up against.

Should I get the K8 speaker or K12 for a bit more....? The K12 would be more powerful yes?

I went with 8

From what I understood the k12 had the same power... Same amp.

K8 went to 127db.
K12 went to 131db.

127db is plenty loud for me and the k8 had more than enough bass.

Also, I wanted something small that was very portable.

So I went with the smaller k8.

So really it depends on what you want.

I personally think it's pretty hip to have monster sound coming out of A small speaker.

I'm looking for some descent speakers just to use at home.
Nothing fancy, nor crappy.
Any suggestions?

So I'm looking for a pair of active speakers for my bedroom DJ setup, though I would like to be able to travel with them for house parties/small crowds. Are the Behringer Truth 2031A speakers still a good choice? Has anything come out since then that would be better and/or cheaper?

If it matters, I spin mostly house and techno.

Originally posted by miamitranceman Any opinions on these? My friend works at GC and said he can get the pair for a little over 100.00. That'd be a steal based on the going price ~400.00. It's got an 8 in sub so I could use it for small parties too. Reviews I've read online are mostly positive.

Jesus I want to know your friend!!!!!

i was recommended the krk v6's but are those even produced anymore? everywhere i looked online said not in stock anymore or only one left...

They are considered by many to be one of the "most bang for your buck" monitors out there. I own a pair, along with the B2092A sub, and I always suggest matching them up with a sub if you're going to use them for DJing - the monitors alone are nearfield, designed for production and will sound a bit flat if you're using them for houseparties.

I bought mine used for $250 CDN for the pair (and nabbed the sub on sale for $235!), have had them for over two years and would recommend them to anyone.

Anyone used the numark npm5? I have a receiver and very large speakers for parties, if I ever do them in the future. Just looking for a cheap pair of speakers to practice mixing with in my bedroom. For the price seems like a good deal. I've only read good reviews online. It's either these or I use my computer speakers.

I have the V6 Series 2 monitors and yes they are not being produced anymore you're right. If you get a good deal on these I say take them by all means because they are one of the better 'entry-level' monitors that KRK has come out with.

This is prolly going to sound silly but anyway.

I want to learn to use the one-cup bmatching technique since my normal twocup method ain't viable in loud clubby situations. Now I was wondering if proper monitors would be necessary to overcome some first-try problems I experience (I'm using these creative gigaworks t20 pc speakers atm just to try this technique):

When I'm pitchriding I can hear the point where the tracks are playing in time but it takes too long before I hear the songs drifting apart. There's like this zone where I don't notice the drift on the speakers while if I switch to in headphone mixing at that moment I would clearly here the drifting way way earlier. Is this due to the pc speakers or is this due to the fact that I can't turn my speakers louder than "speaking volume" since we have nasty thin walls. Would it be worth to use a monitor in this case to hear the drifting more clearly and rapidly or has the, as people say, the more flat sound produced monitors nothing to do with this?

Your speakers aren't the problem. Train your ears, learn to better lock up your mixes before bringing them in and it won't matter what speakers you're using or at what volume they're playing.

Hey guys,

I'm a Trance novice and don't have much of a clue as to whats good or whats not when it comes to products.

I'm looking for monitors which are good for producing trance tracks(I do not need extremely loud one's since I am only going to be using them for producing tracks from my bedroom and not for parties.) My current setup is an access virus ti2 keyboard + logic studio 9 + macbook.

I am looking to spend around 500$ but whether the price is a little higher or lower doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance for your opinions/help guys!

JBL LSR serie might be your best choise in that price.
