I have a pair of Mackie HR824's and I'm really not too happy with
them. I just bought a pair of Sennhieser HD600 cans and I can really
hear that the Mackie's just arent for me. the mix in the headphones
sounds so much more acurate and clear and translates so much better.
So...
If I were to sell the Mackie's, which monitors should I replace them
with? I'm looking for real opinions, not hype. I've been engineering
long enough to know that high price does not necessarily mean "good
sound", but I'm also willing to spend money to get what I want, if
that's what I need to do. I'd love to have a subwoofer to go along
with the monitors as well.
Thanks!
Check out PMC DB1S+ or TB2S+ monitors (or their hifi equiv DB1+ or TB2+ )
http://www.pmcloudspeaker.com/tb2s.html I recently got a pair of DB1+ and
so far I'm liking them a lot. (mine are passive and powered with an Adcom
GFA-545 amp. They also make powered versions too) Very nice midrange and
smooth highs. You'll probably want to get a subwoofer for them though if
usings as mains. I also have Dynaudio BM15As
http://www.dynaudioacoustics.com/Default.asp?Id=279 and the Dyns and PMCs
are fairly complimentary. The Dyns have impressive low end and high end bite
but lack something in the mid/low mid region.
There has been a lot of talk about the Focal SM6 series lately, especially
the Twin Be, so you might want to check those out :

Best of luck!
