Monitor Recommendations

Post by JD01 »

OK,

The obvious choice is these:

A pair of HS5s for £275 quid.

Or HS7s aren't that much more expensive -

Then there's the Adam monitors which I think Tad rates.

And these:

right, I got on find with my Fender Focal Passport Studio ones - doing a bit of research, they actually have really good reviews and I seem to have picked them up at a great price - they're now listed at nearly £400 quid, but I got them for about £200. I was hoping to spend £250 - 300 on a pair, keeping it below £275 if possible 'cos there's a bunch of things I want in the early part of next year. I hope to get some good discounts in January.

Most of you have seen my room, its small, but moderately treated and I have worked out how to use it fairly well where I can get the results to transfer to the car/downstairs stereo and stuff pretty well. I do have a clear listening spot in the room.

I think that any of those options would be great, honestly.

These have been making quite a splash lately as well. I see that Warren Huart keeps a pair on his console alongside his Genelecs. I haven't tried them myself, but I'm really curious about them: https://www.andertons.co.uk/kali-audio- ... ck-lp-6-eu

Cheers, Tad. Warren Huart seems to know his onions. They're also just about in budget.
I'm hoping to get mine fixed but I'm not convinced it I'll manage it.

I have a gear budget for the early part of next year, but hadn't factored monitors into it yet.
