I use Behringer Truths. To be honest, I don't find them suitable for production. The highs are too harsh even with the back switche sin minimum. Sub-bass is lacking for an 8" woofer, you know. I have heard smaller speakers pump out more bass. Now, I give them one good point...they are LOUD. I pump up the bass in my Mackie mixer and crank them real high close to limiting...which is a nice feature so they don't distort, and wow, they really sound great as music speakers. But as monitors, nah...they fatigue quite a bit and I haven't gotten used to them in the year and a half I have had them. I got my Sony MDR-7506 headphones a few months ago and I am accustomed to them already. =o) |
Thanks Rico, I was thinking of buying a pair of Truths, but I could never find an honest review to tell me about them. |

a bx5 or bx8 aren't comparable for needing a sub since the difference is one is 5' and the other 8'. completely different story. i find 5' monitors lack bass, and you would need a sub with them to accurately hear the bass. 6.5 i found is best for home use, cause unless you have a big studio accoustically designed properly, anything higher then 6.5' i think would cause ear fatigue faster since you have these big woofers pointed directly at your ears. any comments on that from the ppl with the 8' monitors??? |
