Relative Recording Newbie here with a newly minted ~500 sf rehearsal/recording space.
As a vinyl collector and thrift-shop audiophile, I've accumulated these speakers: B&W DM6 (known as "the pregnant penguins" from the '70s), Thiel CS3.5, DCM Time Windows. I'm not including the Cerwin Vegas, as I already only listen to stuff that goes well with hyped bass.
Not really buying any more gear until I pay off the sheetrock and the FW interface, so I'll be using these to listen to my mixes.
Any adivce on using these? Will the line out from my firepod work with my home audio amplifier? (the -10 dB/+4 dB thing...)
Is it practical to do rough mixes with some Bose Roommates (powered stereo) as near fields, and slide the chair back into the room to then listen to the mix thru the big boxes? The room is such that the mixing desk must be in a place that is not ideal for listening to the big speakers.
Thanks!
