| "The result is that mixes tend to take on a compensatory effect: muddy. I would guess that some 20/20 bas users may struggle with muddy mixes.... While it wasn?t immediately obvious that the 20/20s had a ?hot? upper midrange, it did eventually become obvious."
i can't agree more with these two statements. after years of mixing on 20/20s, i could not -- no matter how much i listened elsewhere and tried to compensate in my mixes -- overcome these two flaws in the speakers.
depending on what you're mixing for, my $.02 is that its worth your waiting to have the money for a nicer set of speakers. if you're trying to market your mixes or get them to sound "pro / contemporary / competetive / whatever" i don't think you'll get there with the 20/20s.
again, only my opinion. also, even if all you can do is listen to speakers in the store (which is less ideal than listening in your studio) you may as well listen to a few different models against eachother before buying...
