Bitten The Bullet, need speakers

[treefidi]

Hi All,

Have just ordered the nmp through Cabots Circus business (Got a 10% discount that way) and have a couple of questions.

I am a professional editor (Actually run my own events filming business so also Director, Producer, Sound engineer and camera man!) and am wanting to get a decent, but not too expensive set of monitor speakers. I used to edit with my sennheisser 650's but after 20 years of dong this have given myself tinnitus so now use speakers. (At a much quieter volume, be warned!). Can anyone recommend any?

Also, I would like to get a new 27" Monitor, doesn't have to be 4k but with a resolution of the Mac Monitor or above. I will be using my old 2011 imac as a second monitor so it will need to be thunderbolt capable.

Thanks for any advice...

Hi,

It's a very personal pref thing to many people but for what it's worth I am
really happy with my set of Adam A7X monitors.
( also depends on your budget, Adam's are around £900 a pair UK)
My profession is song writing and production, and I've been a pro session musician
and programmer for many years.

I also have an older set of Genelec's 2029's plus the sub and some NS10's.

The Adam's are very neutral and easy to work on for hours at a time.

Power amps built in and have a master volume on the front.

I'm getting a pair of Yamaha Hs8's very soon. They are very flat monitors (to my novice ears) that will work well for songwriting and film sound mixing.

Their speakers are quite popular for professional use.
