Anyway was going to use the jbl as a monitor.. Was thinking the fact it doesn't give off that much low end is a good thing is this situation? |
I spun at a friends house that had Eon 10s. I was wondering why he had the monitors quite a distance from the booth (at least 6 feet away Id say). He then mentioned:
The issue is, its a horrible nearfield speaker in terms of quality of reproduction. They are loud.. too loud to have so close to you. Its meant for a minimum distance of say, at least 8 feet to blend properly. Yes it can get loud to compensate, but a proper nearfield monitor will net huge advantages over them. The sweet spot for nearfield is around 2-3 feet. On your table where your decks are, aimed at you, will own. In other words, he likes my setup better  . (KRK 8s btw. Nearly have 1000hrs on them. Nice and warm).
One of the nicest sets Ive ever heard, was made by BlueSky. It was a 5.75" with a tweet. It sounded beautiful, and got damn loud. The price tag was a little much for me ($499/ea). Take a listen @ ur local GC.

Yanno, your room is very similiar to ours! Actually larger. Ours measures 30' x 50' x 15' peak with 1' vaulted roof. 1500sq/ft here (yours nearly 2000sq/ft). You will be fine with 2 Eon 15s if you are considering overall volume. Sub would kick hard on that hardwood and recommended (it actually makes the Eon 15s sound fuller. The JRX or SRX subs crossover the Eons). We have never used any basstraps. Seems to naturally sound ok (given its an industrial building with plenty of insulation). If you have no issues with noise, get another pair of Eons (spread them out). Anymore and... its an official rave!.. so you gotta make flyers, get supplies, fly in Tiesto ... lol
Our exact setup gets nearly too loud. Like.. 6-8 feet away from monitors, you can feel the bass punching in your chest. We usually tone it down though.
