Top Studio monitor choice?

[fakeness]

I AM LOOKING foward to buy a studio monitor(that can tell a true story of a song). In a way, i don't want a monitor that makes my music sound good, i want it tells me the problem of a music.
anyone have any idea which model to buy?

This is a very involved question that probably doesn't have a right answer. You can probably narrow things down by telling us the price range you are looking at.

ADAMs are pretty popular.

well you asked an incomplete question:


consider your acoustics, too. Without that you're wasting money.


Depending on your money:


Mackie HR824 are standard studio speakers. Wide sweet spot, good margin of error, etc. However, I personally hate them for that reason and others.


Genelec, Tannoy, Eggleston, JBL and Event are some good brands to check out.

Yamaha NS-10, it's famous for not making your music sound good.

I use KRK's myself, which I find fall nicely between flattering and tiring.

Give budget if you want usable answers.

i say...

A monitor that can give me a "correct image" of the sound.
Which means i won't get too far away after i mastering a song with this pair monitors.

Good luck.... speakers used for Mastering are COMPLETELY different-sounding beasts than ones used for tracking/mixing...........

In your price range I will reccomend what I always do. Dynaudio BM6 if your room is not big enough for BM15's. I have yet to hear a monitor in thir price range that sounds as good. Other solid options would be Quested, Truth, and even Emes. Personally, I have never been impressed by any of the ADAM's smaller than the s3a's ( and maybe even the s2.5a's) which are well out of your price range.

Funny - I've compared both the S3As and the S2As and find they're very similar in terms of overall sonics and imaging....

Well, we all have different opinions I know that there are many people out there who have the same opinion that I do concerning this one. However, there are also many people who really like some of the smaller ones that I don't care for.

I find my Event PS6s to be brutally honest. I payed a little US$300 for the pair on eBay, which may be more than CDN$2000.

Proving once again just how very subjective monitor selection is!

Spot on Bruce As you well know, after doing this stuff for long enough and work with so many different pieces of gear, it is really easy to form a real opinion on things. I know for fact that I am that way, and I am certainly not afraid to voice those opinions Just like how I personally don't care for the much beloved RNC's.....
