I have had Tannoy Precision 6D's for over a year now and bought a Tannoy TS10 Sub 2 weeks ago, thoroughly impressed by the sound of the monitors/sub combo.

Still need to have a few more weeks to adjust to the extra bass so i can sort crossover and bass amount out, other than that it seems to be less fatiguing during long sessions and also a lot clearer too.

A quick question on this subject; anyone tried the classic Yamaha NS-10 for EDM?

nope, but i dont think you will be able to find a pair that havent been thrashed by now.

the only reason people used them is because people used them. everyone i know who has used them says they are poo and would rather work with a $500 pair of behringers lol.

I'm really confused about the NS-10, they seem to be either heaven or hell, depending on who you talk to. I can get hold of a pair for around $700-$1000 here in sweden...

I've been thinking about (at some point) getting a pair just to see what all the talk is about. You need an amp with them since they're passive.

Got my Mackie HR824s in just yesterday. Overall, they sound great. I can hear what some people are talking about when they say the mids are a little smushed and that it lacks low-end extension.

But in terms of low end extension, when you put a low-pass filter on the track at about 100hz, those two speakers can rattle the room with low end. So turning the filter on is equivalent to turning on and muting a sub to check the low-end response.

What would Behringers have anything to do with the NS10s?

He said he'd rather work with Behringers than with NS-10's, I dont think what he said is really that hard to understand is it?

the reason people swear by the ns-10's is because they work great as a reference as to how your mix will sound on the average aiwa/sony/technics system. they are no use as your primary monitors, but they were great for producers wanting to sound great to the general public a decade ago. im unsure if they will provide good reference to how the public hear music these days (using shitty ipod docking stations/minisystems as their main hi-fi systems) - maybe it would be a good idea to reference work through ipods and the matching docking sound stations to get an idea of what the listener will hear. they give you a real life 'bedroom/livingroom' reference.

After using the Mackie HR824s for a good 12 hours or so, I definitely don't think I'll need a sub. However, one thing I've noticed is that it can be very easy to become acclimated to the sub bass and, thus, think the speakers don't reproduce enough bass.. maybe this is a form of ear fatigue.

What I tried doing is producing with a high pass filter on the track at about 100hz... and then turning it off when I want to hear the bass... kinda like turning a sub on/off. When doing this, my ears do not become acclimated I can hear sub frequencies VERY well when I need to.. plus I won't piss off neighbors/roommates as much.
