I own some Fostex PM1 MK1 monitor speakers which I've used for over 10 years now, and while they are great, I'd like to try something else out. That and the fact that both of them have dents in the dust caps, one due to once storing them in a box and the other being pushed in last night by some client who's autistic in my studio. Couldn't believe it. Fortunately the sound isn't affected and it seems to remain more cosmetic with it being the dust cover. I'm thinking of selling them now though as I have another pair of these (MK II) at home and would like to try something different but that would be suitable for what I need (DnB) to see if it changes how I mix music. I've literally used PM1's since about 2003 and aside from some Genelecs once, nothing else.
I've never been a fan of the Rokits that KRK do as they felt way to dull on the upper end. My PM1's were much clearer, but the VX series are the more pro end within reason range. They are about £679 or so for a couple although I've come acoss some second hand one's for about £540 in total. I might just sell these PM1's and put it towards the cost paid for the VX. I'm specifically on about the KRK VXT6 monitors. Another good thing about these is that you can buy grills for the front of them too which I think for my line of work is probably for the better.
So has anyone had the pleasure of trying them out or better still, has a set?
