Well cant say anymore. Take a good source Player & listen 4 urself. If i must say, systems like Naim With pre & power amps setup really do impress.. but ur talking 30times the price of a studio monitor.
So you're positive I haven't heard Opals? You're positive that you are in a position to tell what I have and haven't listened to, even your Event Opals, which I have heard? I have heard far better active monitors from working in studios over the last few years, than your opals. I am more than knowledgable about what I'm commenting on and I will stand by my position regardless of how many times you tell me what I have done in this world. Do you know what speakers I HAVE heard? No. So how can you know what speakers I haven't?Craig M. said:@monstrous.
no i'm not. have you heard my speakers? thought not.
i, at least, have heard what i'm commenting on.
apologies if you have. i based it on the ridiculous comment about them not being enjoyable - these are the most enjoyable speakers i've ever heard, if they weren't i would've moved them on and stuck with what i had. and my experience of the b&w 800 range.Monstrous said:So you're positive I haven't heard Opals?

Craig, what's the fundamental difference between 'Studio' monitors and others? The only ones I know I've heard are the ATCs.Craig M. said:@monstrous.

in the context of this thread pp, i meant pro audio actives. i think you get vastly more sound per pound. the active part is particularly important, they have massive advantages over a passive setup if done right.plastic penguin said:Craig, what's the fundamental difference between 'Studio' monitors and others?

couldn't agree more...Craig M. said:this word verification is getting old - every post so far...
chebby said:Craig, I thought you had AVI ADM9.1s or some humungous active ATCs. (I forgot which and might have even confused you with 'Messiah' at times.)
Now your sig say's 'Event Opal'. What happened? What did you have before?
(Now Googling Event Opal to try and catch up.)
You haven't seen the ATC active specs then?oldric_naubhoff said:I have never heard of any active speaker using pure class A amplification which is purer than A/B or D
I presume your reply is to songox?Native_bon said:Well that explains it Dj setup... Humm..
In the mastering studio where our album was completed, (a studio frequented by the likes of Jarvis Cocker et al) they used B&W 801s ( also in a surround setup for soundtracks and SACDs). Several months later I had the great opportunity to interview a very famous guitarist in his own studio, which is also used for other established (very famous) recording artists, who have very high reputations for recording quality (I have seen WHFSV use their discs as reference discs in the past). What monitors did he use? .....B&W 801s.Richard Allen said:Also the point made previously about B&W, Nautilus is used in studios as a reference monitor.
I think, without succombing to all the AVI rhetoric, we as an industry should learn a few things from our pro cousins. After all, the music is the end result. Isn't that what matters?
