Hey Fractal users!
What studio monitors are you using?
I am looking for a good discussion.
I have 2 sets of older monitors and love the large mid field monitors which are the JBL LSR 32s. Had these since they came out in the late 90s. Love setting up my Axe Fx tones using these to get them just right.
For near fields I currently have the Audix 1A monitors I got in like 93 or 94. They have served me well all these years.
I am tired of amps going out and constantly having to find used power amps for both of my passive speakers though.
I am getting close to getting a pair of the Kali Audio IN 8 V2 monitors for my near fields and retiring my Audix 1As
I also check for mono compatibility with a cheap single Behringer Behritone speaker.
I listened to way too many monitors before I chose the ones I did. I got each one for the way they responded to certain things like attack on drums, that they did not color the mids and were clean and clear in the highs without harshness on albums that I knew well.
What is everyone using and what do you like or not like about them and why did you choose what you did.
I am not looking for any advice, just some great discussion on studio monitors. I feel they are one of the most important parts of your environment. The right choice can help you and the wrong choice can be a detriment to your recording and mixing.
Here is a pic with all my monitors in it.
