I haven't had a chance to work on the Event Opals, but I heard them with some product I had mixed running through them and they told me [in no uncertain terms] what was wrong with the mix [I already knew from other references, but that was confirmed in no uncertain terms by the Opals].

This is something I would welcome in an actual mix / work environment as I have a VERY strong feeling that they would push me to do better work.

On the other hand, I have had the K&H 0300's in my work environment. They were very good at patting me on the back and telling me I was a genius... only problem was that "my genius" was not supported in any manner, shape or form when the product was removed from the room.

FWIW I found that the 0200's were a much better tool for the way I work than the 0300's any day of the week. I would have the 0300's in my home because they are so flattering sounding, but NEVER AGAIN in my work environment.

As always... YMMV.

Peace.
