I've been looking to buy my first pair of monitor speakers
I do a bit of mixing, for myself and friends, generally in headphones (I know...), and using whatever speakers are on hand to A/B. Recently those were a pair of Infinity RS3s that a roommate was lending me, and now is taking back
In looking to replace them, I've been asking around forums for advice. I get referred frequently to the Kali LP-6, which retail around $300 / pair, and I've seen used for as low as $260 or so
That's still a little high for me, but I was considering it – but *then* I found this deal locally that seems pretty amazing
It's a pair of Samson Resolv SE6 speakers, with Auralex MoPAD Isolation Pads, two IEC power cables, and a 3.5mm to 1/4" cable for $175 total
From my calculations, that all would retail close to $500 new. There are some scratches on the outside of the Resolv, but the speakers look fine. I'm planning to test & pick it up tomorrow
My question is: are these speakers alright for entry level mixing? They've gotta be a step-up from the Inifinity RS3s at least, right? Are they comparable at all to the Kalis? Are they worth the price?
Would love some input For reference, I will be almost exclusively using it to mix guitar / bass / drum driven music; no EDM or anything of that ilk for me really
