Anyone have additional thoughts on the ADAM A7s? They seem to be quite popular, actually. Unfortunatly the Guitar Center I went to did not have any ADAM monitors for me to listen to.
How do they compare to Mackie 824s? |
They are very good monitors in the $1000 price range. I've read a lot of good reviews about them in forums such as gearslutz.
The only downside would be that they do not go down as low as some other monitors, but for the price tag they are hard to beat. |

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. |

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 ty 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. |
