I started to go around to the different stores in Oslo to look for studio monitors. I need some active nearfields.
I first listened to Genelec 1029A. They sounded great, and had an awful lot of detail in the midrange and high end. The imaging was superb. I was only worried about the bass. Where was it? I do some quite bass heavy music, mainly different type of breakbeats/ trip hop/ d'n'b, and I really need to know what's going on "down there".
Could refering to my cans once in a while fix most of this problem? Would using a sub (when I can afford it) work well, without too much trouble with phase cancellation?
I also tried the active Yorkvilles. They sounded terribly boomy. It was actually much too bass heavy, and the bass covered all, and it wasn't too detailed a bass either. On the other hand it was there, and the detail in the midrange was actually quite good.
I am also thinking about Behringer Truths, which would be quite a lot cheaper, but I expect them not to tell me the whole , eh, ... truth. They might be quite pleasant and fun to work with, but I don't find them to be all that truthful.
I am also looking at Spirit Absolute 4p, Event SP8 (or 5) or perhaps yamaha MSP-5. Is this something for me? Are there others I should look into?
I'll also test out the poll system here: What should I buy?
Genelec 1029A, Yorkville PSM-1p, Behringer Truth, Spirit Absolute 4p, Event SP8, Yamaha MSP-5 or none of the above.
