Genelec 1031A vs. ADAM S2.5A

denial · 20th August 2003

Can anyone share their experience with either of these monitors? And maybe even the Dynaudio BM15A or AIR 15. Main use is for tracking and mixing rock/pop music.

Most importantly - Translation to other systems after a mix?
Tracking volume?
Consistency at different volumes?
Ear fatigue?
Punch?
In combination with a sub like the Genelec 1092A?

If you search this forum (& other Gearslutz forums, too) you'll find a fair amount on this subject. I don't have the 2.5As, but after auditioning a lot of monitors, and doing a fair amount of research, I ended up with the ADAM S2As and later bought a pair of S4C-As for my "bigs". My own ears, and the comments of many other AEs, lead me to belive I made a great choice. Translation is never a problem with my ADAMs, and it always was with others.
Monitors being a rather personal thing, you really should hear all the models you're considering, preferably in your own room - at the least, using material you are intimately familiar with.
Don't know if this helps any, but that's all I can say about it.
