I have an older set of the 20/20 BAS, and I love for listening and home

translate well to other speakers, and I have to agree with them. My mixes
just don't sound right anywhere but my own room (which also needs better
treatment, probably true for most rooms).

I'm looking at Blue Sky and Truth Audio for my next set. I was hoping to get
a set of Dynaudios, but the budget is slipping away for them.

Hello Sean!
I actually auditioned a set of 20/20 BAS's and I did not like them. The
low end is hyped and flutters about, very loose sounding. Playing a Ray
Brown CD on them drives the woofers wild! The Precision 8's (at least the
active models which are the only ones I have heard) sound VERY different
from the 20/20;s. FWIW they sound a lot like the Mackies only they go
lower and the imaging seems a wee bit better, maybe at the expense of
smoothness though IMHO.
The SP8's sound much more controlled than the 20/20's to my ears.
I love the Mackies, but we are talking $500.00 difference (actives) in
price and quite frankly *I* don't hear $500.00 worth.
But that's why I am asking for some professional opinions!!
FWIW Dynaudio has a couple of models in my price frame.
Any suggestions?

Steph
