This should go in the "producers" thread but what the hey: I need to replace those shit monitors I bought because they're shit. Any experienc eof the following gratefully received.
Been looking at Genelec 8030A's which is what two of my friends and collaborators use in pro set ups. They both really rate them and I must say they sound fantastic to me as well. I can't really spend £1000 ish right now though. The next size down the 8020As look a bit too wee though and apparently are a bit bass light. Genelecs reluctantly off the list then.
Adam A7x's were high on the list, possibly even top. But they're over £700 a pair and quite big for my small room. Tempted...
Event 20/20 BAS V3s also briefly considered at a much more palateable £500 a pair... but again they're pretty whopping with 8" drivers and 17kg each. Can't help but suspect that like the KRKs they're primarily aimed at impressive low end and high output electronic music styles. Given that I'm producing almost exclusively acoustic music it they didn't seem quite right.
I've landed on the Adam A5x as being the best for my wallet,style of music and room size. Anyone used them?
