I remember that I powered the NS10's with a Hafler 75 watt x 2 amp but I dont remember which model... I definately would not recommend that specific amp, although as I said I dont remember which model it was.

The TA 1600?

What was your complaint with it?

Mine has been flawless powering a pair of Event 20/20s.
 
Tapco 8

I like the sound of these better than I did my Alesis Monitor 1 MKII but I recently heard the Yamaha HS80M and was really impressed with those.
The Tapco-8's are new to me and I have only mixed 2 albums on them but now that I have the studio completed I'm getting use to their sound in a new environment. Time will tell!
 
At home;
KRK Rokit 8's (no sub)

At work;
Genelec 1032 for LCR,
Genelec 8050 for SL, SR
Genelec 7271 for LFE

Yamaha NS 10's for nearfield
A Sony TV for itty bitty.
 
Dynaudio BM15's for me, for mixing and mastering purposes they are fantastic, not bios to any frequency, nice and flat.
 
Event ASP6 here connected to a nice and older and nice upgraded Amek/Neve 24-track console. These monitors are well suited for the size of my control room.

No need to have 8" or 15" woofer in a smaller control room.

Same specs as the ASP8. But with a 6" woofer instead of a 8".

I used to have Dynaudio BM15, but they were too boomy for the size of my room.

Event monitors are very well detailed and mixes translate very well.

Also had a pair of NS-10M which I used sometimes to check my mixes. Especially the reverbs. BTW, what would be the best clean amp to drive them? (I'm planning on buying a used pair again)

Too bad Event was bought by Rode and that there is no support or spare parts available anymore.

The best piece of advice I can give is to get to know your monitors well. There is no good or bad monitors, just bad ears and bad habits.
 
I use Harbeth M30A and Klein + Hummell (Neumann) O110D.

I also use Sennheiser HD 800 and HD 25-1 headphones as required.
 
I use the CakeWalk MA-15D and they work wonderful. I like the bass enhancement switch.
 
I'm not sure if what I'm using can be classed as 'monitors'. I amp with an ancient NAD 3020i, retired from lounge duty and is now currently feeding a pair of JPW ML-10s. Great!

We've got a shop over here called
Studiospares and as well as selling lots of stuff, they make some of their own stuff. Back in March, I invested in a pair of their own monitors, called Seiwin http://www.studiospares.com/Studio-Monitors/Studiospares-Seiwin-Powered-Monitors-Pair/invt/248030. I've learned some important things since joining HR, and there was alot of talk about monitors so when I came unexpectedly into some cash, I thought I'd get a pair. I had previously used my Gale stereo speakers and they're actually OK but I was curious. I've noticed a difference, without a doubt. They may be a pair of cheap shitty monitors but I don't know that. I like them and I'm glad I have them. I guess I'm like the kid that doesn't know enough to come in out of the rain.
 
DynAudio BM15As.

Expensive, but detailed as hell and loud, if necessary.


I picked them because, more than any other speaker (except for Focal Twins with dual Focal Sub-woofers at $8K for the rig), they made my favorite commercially produced material sound incredibly good, while my self-produced material sounded horrible. I figured the larger the discrepancy, the more useful the monitors would be.
 
I got Yamahas and I'm pretty unhappy with them. I feel like they're always lying to me.... :confused:
