Hello,
First thread started here so take it easy on me please.
I have been using JBL 4326 studio monitors that i bought used from Guitar Center and while i can't say i dislike them, I was wondering if there was something out there better. I am running out of my PC using a creative AE-7 soundcard, running a sub (SVS SB1000) and two stereo monitors out of the respective sound card outputs. before this i had a set of JBL 305 and the 4326 were a significant improvement.
Well my curiosity got the better of me and i ordered a set of Adam T5v basically after reading the review here. What was noticed immediately was an improvement in resolution and space between instruments. NICE! The downside is they don't get loud enough for me before getting shouty. ( I am using Equalizer APO and the recommended Eq enhancements)
With this in mind I bought a pair of Adam T8V with the bigger drivers and a little extra power. These are not the same as the T5V's. Not the same resolution and clarity IMO opinion although the volume is a bit better.
Looks like i am going to have to return both and try something else and may have to go up the foodchain. I love the power of the JBL's (220 watts each) but they are not the most resolving. I guess I listen pretty loud and am somewhat sensitive to distortion. I am considering the Newmann KH120's but i am concerned about the 100 total watts. Also on the short list is Mackie HR824MK11
What about these two monitors and any other recommendations. I am thinking a 1500 budget.
Thanks for reading.
