| Acoustics first
For treating your room, I would look in to gik acoustics. You have to be careful with using foam, because it can absorb all the high end and still leave the mud. Especially in a 14x14 room, I would consider using the GIK traps to create some angles and some absorbtion.
I bought the older model genelec 1031a's at an auction for about $1000 a piece. See if you can find that kinid of deal on ebay. Some film mixers do not like Genelecs, but as far as I can tell they are all crazy! No, just kidding. It's a matter of personal preference.
No matter what speakers you get, you MUST address the acoustic environment or accurate monitoring will not happen.
And yes, a sub will be very useful as soon as you can afford it. |
