new monitors worth it??

[liv_rong]

i currently have the edirol ma-15d reference monitors, and they sound good and i am quite pleased with them. but sometimes, they seem to bass rich, i have the "bass enhancer" set on 2, sometimes its too much, but if i set it to 1, it is too little, and the bass knob doesnt do much at all.

i was thinking of getting the krk rp-8's, because a lot of people around here seem to like the rp-6 models.

questions is, is it even worth it to get another set?

are the rp-8's much better than the 6's? maybe just get the rp-6 instead?

i dont know, please give me some guidance.

and yes, i know room treetment would be the best, as i am moving within the next two months i am waiting till i get into the new room to asses the situation there.

thanks in advance.

ok bye

what you mention is an interesting phenomena I don't understand either.

I had some DYNAUDIO BM5A's at home and my YSM1p's.
Over different types of music I noticed the BM5a's would remain the same sound, while my YSM1P's would change a bit more.
I could tweak the settings on the YSM1p's to find a close median to match the DYN's but the Dyn's were very consistent across various music types and tunes. (very consistent).

being I use the Yorks for my own setup only and mostly my music only, it works for me very well and I save $500; I'm not a business recording all types of music. if so it might justify the Dyn's.
so I setup my Yorkvilles nearly perfectly matching the Dyns, volume, freqs etc...for my type music.

so yes, in short reply, I don't really understand how the same speaker can act differently with various music types as you described...bass rich, then bass shy etc... but I know what your saying.
really a strange science.

someone posted what I was hearing was a well made speaker or something, but thats about as far as it went.

sorry, I have no answers or explanations. I'm not sure room treatment alone will fix it.

just my experience.
