iv been using my ms 16's for about 3 years and they are great especially for the price. http://www.behringer.com/ms16/index.cfm?lang=ENG
But im thinking of getting something alittle more beefy so i went out looking today and i couldn't find any bigger monitors within a reasonable price. The place i went to seemed to have mine (85-100$) then all the other's were like 800 plus.
Any suggestions or other monitor users?
we got any monitor speaker users?
What do you mean "beefy"?
You monitors shouldn't sound like anything, they should sound as transparent as possible. You use monitors to find stuff, not to just to listen casually.

The point of studio monitors is to hear things clearly without fatiguing your ears or artificially coloring the sound with the kinds of frequency accentuation you hear when you listen to a song on a stereo. That means you don't want them to be overly loud or overly bassy or overly anything. How loud do you need them to be? Maybe the problem is with the room you are listening to them in?slay wrote:i mean i want to be able to turn them up louder without the bass sounding like shit.

Thats exactly why i use them, amping the exact tones from my pod without anything to change the sound.Pfl?yd wrote:The point of studio monitors is to hear things clearly without fatiguing your ears or artificially coloring the sound with the kinds of frequency accentuation you hear when you listen to a song on a stereo.

Now when i play it fairly quiet i have the bass and treble maxed on the monitors which give a great sound to record or just jam out, but when i start to crank them up with the bass/trble maxed it starts to give that farting sound because of all the bass so i have to either turn the bass all the way down on my pod or turn it down on the monitors ( i usually do it on the monitors) but doing that im not getting that nice tone at a high volume. So having bigger monitors would let me get more volume with the bass/treble maxed correct?
i hope that made sense..
it's not like i need to keep up with a drummer or anything just sometimes i want alittle more volume to get into jamming alittle more.
Definitely. Studio monitors are not going to be sufficient no matter what.slay wrote:correct
maybe i should just get an actual amp

ignore the out of time playing and focus on the quality of the tone/distortion etc.. doesn't sound so bad does it?
