April 5, 201412 yr Looking to get a set of active studio monitors. Having a hard time deciding between a set of coaxial's such as Equator or PreSonus or ribbon's such as Emotiva or Adam. Both have their pros and cons, but there is no way for me to try all of them in my office. Budget is about $1,500.
April 5, 201412 yr Focal Solo6 is very nice imo but maybe a bit out of your budget, not sure on the pricing overseas. Final edit: i think i drank too much last night. Edited April 5, 201412 yr by Riotvan
April 5, 201412 yr I wouldn't fixate on the driver technology. Both can sound terrific. Get the one that sounds the best to you.
April 5, 201412 yr Author Aside from trips to B&H and Guitar Center, I will not be able to audition these at the same time in the same environment, nor does anyone carry the Emotivas.
May 10, 201412 yr I wholeheartedly recommend the Neumann KH120. At top of the page you can find my comments on them. Have any questions on them or their big bother, shoot.
May 10, 201412 yr Fuck Coaxials. Fuck ribbons. Quad 12L Actives are where it's at. You have your head ears roughly in the plane of the tweeters and you're done. They got no bottom, but you have a little bit of budget left over for a sub. I listen to the Equators all the time, but the budget on them were $300 -- if you got more dosh, the Quads are the best in their price bracket. I have no experience with the Emotivas. Yet.
May 10, 201412 yr Baguettes powered monitors were pretty nice. Significantly better than the emotivas. I recommend them. You'll need a BIG desk tho.
May 10, 201412 yr Yuh, those were fantastic. I told Jeff he needs to get them for his piano instead of listening to the built-in speakers.
