Awshum, thanks for the feedback gentlemen, should make the choice a little easier .

Originally posted by nortek you should ask if u could borrow them home. i just bought the HS80M and it didnt work here. Its not the monitors fault i guess but they are very big so i should have understood that the bass would be too much. The upper midrange is missing though imo, good placement or not.

I reckon that's because you've been using hifi speakers (which always accentuate the mids) to monitor for last few years and that your room listening position / monitor placement is never going to really work in your apartment.

However, I will say this; the HS80's do not work in small rooms - that's why I couldn't buy them for my setup.

If you've got a small room, then the JBL LSR 2325p's are excellent especially as they only cost $400 per pair, and the Mackie HR626's are nice, if a little overpriced for what they are.

They're nice, certainly in terms of detail but you're not going have much low end at all......

yeah thats why i stayed away from them at first but as i have such problems here with bass its better to just be without it. i have a sub i can use in crisis situations, pluss i have headphones. hopefully this will be enough until i move.

got the Genelec 8020B today (B-version is new, only difference is a powerswitch on the back, and missing XLR-out for routing more speakers), and this little bastards are build like nukes, they are build of metal and they are heavy as shit!. the sound is amazing and very revealing and fit much better to my room with all the eq-options on the back. ill get back to how i like them after a while. and then hopefully i get my mixes better translated. will post a pic later too. finally i can sleep again lol.

oh and my own productions sounds horrible on them which is good.

do you believe it... i had to put on the 85Hz (6dB/oct) HP-filter on the Genelecs to get the sound i wanted. these are 4" monitors. talk about fucked up room.

Define "small room"?

My current room is around 400 sq. feet. (Or about 39 sq. meters)

Might be downsizing here in a few months to a room maybe 1/2 the size.

good choice. I've got a pair of an older version, and love 'em. Tanks, indeed. As mentioned, the low end is somewhat lacking, but I don't think I could go back to anything else by now, anyway.

I have the older 1029 as well!. I prefer the square look. I bought 5 of them and the matching sub but never really got into that sort of mixing so it has more so been for watching movies than mixing. I always thought they were a little bass light for EDM but for classical , they sound fantastic.
