Hi,
As you probably know from my previous post, I am planning to buy reference monitors in the 1000-1400$ pricerange. I went to listen to Adam A7, Mackie HR824MKII, genelec 8030A, Dynaudio BM5A.
My first impression on A7 was good, but in an A/B test they are awful... they lack a whole bootom frequency range... reviews says they have very good definition...
Mackie sounds strong on bass, strong on mid and very pleasant on hi. I have not seen a seller liking those, and the forums are 50/50 on them, but I like them!
Genelec sounds amazing, how can such a small seaker sound so good? Anything boosted in there?
Dynaudio sounds as good as genelec, but the song I listened to had a bass part playing a descending scale, and the notes went to normal bass sound, to very present bass, to very light bass... Cheaters!!! No wonder with a 5" woofer/mid speaker.
So companies are making speakers that sound good before doing speakers that sounds the truth...
I have never been more confused about chosing my pair of studio monitors... I will stay with my samson resolv65a for a while (I know they are horrible, how could I buy this pair? I still don't know why I made that choice... hope I won't feel the same if I get those Mackies /)
Thanks, your opinion counts
