Alesis Monitor Ones. Which I have had for almost three years. I would track and mix on them. As the story usually goes mixes would sound great on them but quiet and kind of flacid everywhere else. So when I blew the woofer on one I decided it was time to try something else. So I borrowed a friends Tannoy Reveals and mixed like 5 songs on them over the course of like 4 days and BAM, I finally got results that sounded much cleaner and less confusing for lack of a better way to describe it. I barely used any EQ, which I always felt like I needed to on the Alesis.
So what I am thinking is, the Reveals are good, I have been really happy w/ them so far. But the Yamahas from what I hear are really honest and deatailed. I feel like I should get something that really forces me to learn how to mix and then once I have developed my skills upgrade or at least suppliment w/ anothe pair of monitors.
My fear is that the Tannoys might not be brutal enough to force me into good mixing habits.
