ryancolecreate Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) [search]buying studio monitors[/search]OK so I am going to buy some studio monitors pretty soon, and I'm deliberating over which to get. I know there are some studio guys here who might have some good tips. Right now it's between: Mackie(or Tapco) MR5's MR8's or possibly some Adam A5's (sex). The white ones are just so nice. I'm really only a producer. Not really mixing stuff to any high degree, so incredible sound is only a bonus. :) I would love the 8's for the bass though. If I got the 5's I'd end up getting a sub before too long. Any experience? There are probably better options out there, but I'm going off of a local retailer (who happens to have pretty tasty prices).

Squee Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Some guy asked me the very same question a couple of days ago, and I told him to go to a store, bring some music that he listens to, test the monitors and pick the ones he thought sounded the best. It's all a matter of opinion and everyone has them, but it's YOUR opinion that matters because you're the one who is going to use them, right?

Braintree Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I would go for the MR8's. Go big or go home. By the way, it's not always a good idea to mix with a sub.

ryancolecreate Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ya I know about mixing w/ a sub. Thats a year out anyways. I was really wondering if anyone had any experience w/ the Adam's. I ahve heard that they sound amazing. Never heard of them until just now, but I think it's because they are really high end and were out of my range of interest. I'll be testing some soon.
