could you post a pic of them in the room btw, im curious how big they really are. i think the beringers are abit smaller, with only a 8" bass and a little horn-tweeter.



I bought 2 but i really need 1.
These thing are powerful, and small.

Height 457 mm (17.99")
Width 282 mm (11.1")
Depth 264 mm (10.39")
Weight Net 8.62 kg (19 lbs)

And i didnt know that TV thing.
I have a samsung lcd.

well you want two for stereo anyway.

the behringer are 249 x 205 x 372 mm, so quite abit smaller, and half the price as said. but the sound is probably not as good as the electrovoice! you should have two for stereo anyway and if u have space and the money is ok just keep the EV. they sound probably awesome.

dunno if you have already made a choice Man_Devil, but consider getting Adam A7Xs

I have a pair of the old A7s set on Auralex Isopads and the sound is fantastic. really good response on the low end even at low volumes. They are around $700 each, depending where you live.

Firstly, yes it is the wrong forum, unless you want DJ or PA speakers.

Secondly, I have the JBL lSR2325p's and love them. Best monitors under $500 per pair. Period.

I like the adams for clarity but all of them suffer from being waaaaay to bright IMO. A/B them against any other decent monitors and you'll see what I mean.

I left this in here because the response was good.
(I was away on holidays came back and this had developed quite a bit)

I want to upgrade my tr6's with something that has more impact and low distortion. The tr6 has 6.5 inch woofer and i think im gonna need is an 8 inch, looking more towards Yamaha HS80M or get loud speakers like the electro voice or JBL.

The yamaha are really good I have them.


The EV are very loud those i use just for DJ.

this is exactly it.

you dont want monitors for djeing, u want PA.
while if you are producing you want monitors, not PA.

djeing: PA
producing: monitors

not that hard.

ortofonchild: u want PA because you are a dj, like the behringers i posted, their like 300 or something. please do not get the yamahas for djeing.

if you want something in the middle (that covers both applications) you can look at high end hifi, but that would cost you alot more.

And as previously mentioned, if you want to do both, just buy a sub to go with your studio monitors. Keep two sets of cables - plug the sub in when you want to DJ, route to just the monitors when you want to produce.
Kenny Rogers
i dont agree. monitors are really agitating and will wear you ears out pretty fast compared to a nice and warm sounding PA. espesially at higher volumes. Monitors have focused midrange which is where human ear is most sensitive, but what you want when djeing is bass. then u turn it up and the vocals is screaming at you. monitors are not for djeing unless you play at low volume imo. People seems to misunderstand what monitors really are. Theres a Reason why studios have both small monitors and large mains. The mains are only there to impress clients and to have fun/understanding how the track will sound on a big system - PA.

they seem to be sold in pairs with a stereo amp in only one of the speakers and a link to the next one which is kind of odd imo. other that that i have no idea how they sound.

Other Features

* LINK OUT JACK:MSR250's link out jack can be used to connect multiple units for higher power and expanded coverage. This outputs the mixed signals input via the INPUT1 and 2/3 jacks. * Visual Clip Indication:MSR250 features an LED power indicator as well as a clip indicator that warns of impending clipping, allowing the user to make appropriate adjustments to the source level.


Versatile Dual-channel Input Configuration

For extra input flexibility the MSR250 features dual input channels, each with it's own low and high equalizer controls and level control. The signals from the two inputs are mixed and delivered via the MSR250 speakers as well as the rear-panel line out connector, allowing convenient linking to other speakers or audio devices for easy system expansion (the MSR250 is a perfect expansion speaker for Yamaha's STAGEPAS 250M compact sound system). Input 1 has balanced XLR and phone jack connectors that accept microphone or line input, and input 2/3 is actually a mixing input in its own right with phone jack and two pin jack connectors.

this is the weird part but i might be wrong.
