new monitors

[boobjunkie]

just been to pick up a pair of adam audio A7s



what monitors are you guys using?

[groelle]

alesis m1 mk2 active - and damn fine with them. got a good low end response and pretty nice highs, cant fault them at all.

edit: after i saw the fotos i can - their only fault is their loudness fader is on the back.

[logikz]

none, mine got robbed. so im at the mercy of my headphones. but im getting new ones, rokit 5 or 8 probably. those dont look very good, how much are they?

I got the alesis boxes as well. I've detected a strange bass behaviour in them, either the ports arent tuned at all that well, or my mixer is at fault. I'd be getting Genelecs with a sub if I had an extra 2000€.

HUH? Adam A7s don't look good ? Give me two minutes I'll have a quick heart attack.................................. OK I'm back, they're looking pretty nice to me mate congrats boobjunkie you smug bastard I'm very jealous

[boobjunkie]

haha cheers, got them second hand for £420, they're in very good nick so i'm pleased

[co0ke]

none at the moment but in a couple of months im hoping to get a pair of samson r5a's. only thing that concerns me is that they might have a disappointing low end...

How can people rob you of monitors? o.o

[moriaty]

rockin the good old alesis. and check how far they've taken me..

[Nosta]

NICE!!! I've heard nothing but good things about ADAM n £420 is a right bargan!

[kama]

The genelecs are a bit out of my range so once these alesis boxes fail me I've been planning on getting ADAM's as well. Or Dynaudios.

[Cat Gas]

I don't even have monitors. But I'll be getting Rokit 5's after my exams and whatnot.

Apparently those Adams A7's are a pig to position and get a sweet spot, you have to work really hard to get it all sitting nice, and then don't touch them! How have you found them?

On a side note, 'nice monitors' are no crack without some sufficient acoustic treatment. It's like getting a Ferrari and taking it down the local grease monkey to get it serviced. Ya dig.
