Monitor advice with 2000-4000 budget for techno and bass

[shawnkawa]

Ive read alot of the monitor posts through the forms. most of the techno guys were getting under $1500 speakers like ax7 or bm5a. so i wanted something bigger with a higher budget. My budget is $2000-$4000 (usd) from what ive read Adams s3a, PMC ib1, or dynaudio bm15a could be good. though the adams ive read was a bit lacking in the sub feq...

Currently i use Beyerdynamic 770 head phones for creation and mixing. My room will be 12'x12' well treated, it isn't done yet could be bigger if need be depending on the monitors. i use ableton with mostly analog gear mostly working on techno. Fireface 800 sound card. I am looking to do my own mixing so i want some thing that translate well to other systems and has good bass. i have a engineer to do my mastering.

here mysound cloud to give you idea of type of music

Doing it right the first time. I use those same headphones, seems like a huge jump 150$ phones to 4000$ speakers.

Since your willing to spend so much maybe pick up a second pair of reference speakers for cheap. I've read really great reviews for the prodipe ribbon 8.

Might want to investigate Event Opals- from what I've read, they seem to do well in the bass dept. Search GS - lots of threads about them (I've never heard them myself)
