Hey all! First time posting here. So glad to find this forum as I'm a believer in measurements to help dispel all the marketing we are saturated with!
I run a mixing and mastering studio and I'm looking to upgrade my monitors that served me well the last 10 years (Dynaudio BM5A).
I'm in a smaller room ~11x13' and it is well treated. I have an SVS SB2000 sub that I'm going to integrate with my monitors using a minidsp nanodigi and will be using the plugin to help tune the room. I primarily work in rock/metal and also do quite a bit of electronic music/hip hop.
I've heard a lot of buzz about Amphion but from the research I've seen here it doesn't seem to be very flat at all! I have been getting a lot more mastering work so I think a flatter response would probably be better. I don't need top of the line by any means, and if there are some gems around the $2000/pair I would be elated.
Some monitors I'm looking at currently are: Amphion One18, Genelec 8350 and 8331, Neumann 310s, Dynaudio Lyd48, and barefoot footprint01 or 02s.
I'm a bang for the buck kinda guy, so if there are some others any of you would recommend, please let me know!
Thanks so much in advance and can't wait to hear and interact with all of you. Cheers!
