I think those sound great if you are listening to hip-hop. but your mixes will sound less bassy on other systems.

Bull, the tendancy with these speakers is to mix in too much bass. They lack a bit on the bottom end. Everytime I take a mix to a car stereo or home system it blows the subs out. Mix accordingly, once you get used to the translation they're great speakers.
 
Thanks for that comment, Darrin, but what I really meant to ask was:

Would it be bad to run the headphone-level signal from the Mini-me straight into self-powered monitor speakers? Is there some kind of impedence problem or something like that that will affect the sound? I want to use the Mini-me for mixing as well as tracking.

[regarding the M1-A's - if you cork up the ports, it tames the deep bass down a little, but I pull out the plugs to listen to Laswell]

Thanks,
goon
 
one thing to think about with all these digital output devices is:
Do you have a DIGITAL patchbay?

How are you going to get 8 channels of spdif or AES/EBU into your setup if each unit is two channels yet your setup is ADAT or TDIF ?

These units, and the DBX 386 and such all looked like great deals, till you try and figure out how youre gonna interface them

Shit, I was talking about the M1 passives. Sorry.

Pipline, most home guys are just going to buy one and use the SPDIF into their soundblaster. Not bad in that case. One or two mics at a time.

that would be fine then, but a lot of this stuff is geared toward multitrack recording, and would be the ultimate bitch to set up that way...but hope is on the way, some new affordable Lightpipe patchbays are coming out!
