Well, once again, this proves out my point in another thread where I said "people don't like monitors that are too flat". Undoubtely, looking at the specs, the Mackies are flat as shit, whereas the Dynaudios, well, they are colored.xstatic said:Interesting. You are the first person i have ever heard refer to the Mackie's as flat. Every time I have used them it has been pretty dissappointing. They have a huge low mid emphasis, strained highs, and are very fatiguing. Then again, the Dynaudios get consistently good reviews. Shows what i know I guess. The good news is that there are a ton of used Mackie monitors on the market (for a reason) so if you want the Mackies you should be able to get them for pretty cheap. The bad news is that there are not that many used Dynaudio's for sale (once again for a reason).
Well, if you choose to ignore science/specs and use your own ears, it's your choice. Mackie's specs are REALLY impressive. Of course, when I listened to them the first time, I heard a lot of treble and muddy bass. But this is only because I wasn't used to FLAT.xstatic said:I have definately come to believe that you just like to say stuff and create conflict or something. Have you ever used any of these? Let your ears tell you what the differences are. The Mackies are FAR from flat sounding. The Dynaudio's aren't ruler flat either. But then, what monitor is? If you want, take a look at the specs. The specs on the Mackie's and the Dynaudio's both look good, but are now where near sounding at all alike.
I have refrained from trying to get into too much of a personal disagreement here and in other of your posts, but the advice that you like to hand is often just wrong or plain old bad. Grow up, accept that other people have opinions, and understand that the world according to TheDewd really only exists in your own mind.
And have fun with your beloved Mackie monitors. You seem to deserve them![]()
