I love my KRK 7000b's for near field monitoring... too bad KRK has
discontinued them. I also have a pair of JBL 4412A monitors (non-powered,
3-way with 12" woofer) from 1996 or so. As my ears and tastes become more
"refined" with experience, I am starting to enjoy the 4412a's less and less.
I have not compared them to anything, but I am feeling that there are
probably other good "mid-field" monitors out there that I might potentially
enjoy more.

I'd love to hear opinions of the JBL 4412A monitors just for my own
reference, and would like to collect any recommendations for a potential
replacement / upgrade. I've been hearing lots of good things about the ADAM
monitors... I see they make a S4Va which is comparably sized to the 4412A's.
Then there's also the bigger Genelecs (the 1037 or 1038 I think)... I heard
the big Genelecs briefly at AES several years ago and my initial impression
was that I liked them, but of course that is not way to really assess and
test monitors.

Before I arrange some type of audition session, I'd love to hear some
opinions of these monitors and any others that might fall into this
category. I currently run my JBL's off a Hafler P4000... I do not really
have a preference for powered verses non-powered monitors, they just need to
sound good.
