I've been using Alesis Monitor 1 MKii amplified monitors and they seem to work well enough. Do you guys think the Events are better? I sometimes notice my mixes turning out a little bass heavy when I listen to them on regular stereo equipment after mixing on the Alesis monitors. I don't do any added EQ, but my sound is bassy and I have to roll off the bass on my stereo. It could be that my sounds are just that way out of the keyboards, though. _____ From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gordon Kent Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 3:04 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Studio moniters I vote for events also. I'm using the ev5's which truly are near field. Some monitors are advertised as nearfield but they are really too big for that in my oppinion.

They blew away the genelex, in my humble opinion. There are several models, the 20/20's are great, but for around $100 new, maybe $700 used, the sp8's are great. They're biamped, so you have complete separation, and the crossover is great. They don't get real boomy, which I like, but the low end is incredibly tight. Hope this helps.

Gee, that's surpising. Anyway I amlooking to spend four hundred ish on moniters that have their own indepedant power supply. I have a m audio moble pre sound card. Any suggestions would be welcome.
