I've had a pair of Event PS6's for like 6 years and they still rock. Get 'em if you can find them. FYI - you might try searching for Event Project Studio 6, as thats what the PS in PS6 stands for.

PS6 = TR6 no?!

fj, I think you'll find not much can compare to the ASP* line for the price. Personally I'd take them over Mackies...

Well, it is true that the TR6 were the next version of the PS6, but I have no idea what kind of changes they may have made to the TR6 line to make them differ from the PS6.

I know that the PS6 actually have 6.5 inch cones, but in my experience, the PS6 excel at the mid-range, not the low end. My mixes usually sound a bit mid-heavy on the PS6's, but that's OK because I know them well enough to be able to anticipate how they will sound on other systems. On my monitors if my mix sounds a bit to "mid-y" then I know they'll sound balanced on other systems, particularly consumer-grade systems.

Unfortunately I do not have the ability to make a side by side comparison of the two monitors, so I'll just have to take people's word on the TR6 being not as good as the PS6. I am certainly not in a position to make that judgement myself. Personally I'm very happy with my PS6.

I'm pretty sure TR6s and PS6s are identical. I know they use the same woofer at least!

You're probably right. I would guess that the TR6 sound just as good, if not better, than the PS6. I don't see any reason why that would not be the case.

im not sure but im pretty sure the tr series uses cheaper components than the ps series...not sure for what reason..but circuitry is everything when it comes to electronics and i've also owned both a pair of ps5 and tr and been able to a/b them both and found the ps's to have a much better frequency response
