which speaker???

mihau · 18th September 2002, 04:58 PM

hi to all magician here!!!

I am going to buy nearfield speaker with subwoofer...I am wondering which one are best.

- GENELEC 1031APM + 7060sub = 3200EUR
- DYNAUDIO ACUSTIC AIR15 + AIR BASE 1 = 3700EUR
- ADAM S-3A + SUB1A = 4000EUR

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHIC ONE ARE THE BEST !!!

BEST

P.S. DOES SUB HELP WITH MIXES...

ADAMs. and sub isnt that necessary... although if you like the bass to drop.... i have the S3-A's w/o a sub and find them more than adequate.

Adams are nice and a lot of guys here like them, without a sub though. They are more of a midfield than a nearfield. I think there are other worthy choices out there that are non powered you just supply the amp.

alphajerk · 18th September 2002, 07:47 PM

no, the S3-A's are definately nearfield. the 4's move to midfield.

Hi Miha. I would submit you ought to add Quested to mix, so to speak...(pun painfully intentional)

Curious G · 19th September 2002, 01:45 PM

Quested 2108's work for me.

MIKEHARRIS · 19th September 2002, 08:28 PM

I think you'll find the AIR BASE-2 to be a better match for the AIR 15's...as the 15's already have a single 10.

MIKEHARRIS · 19th September 2002, 08:30 PM

the Quested VS3208 is also an amazing speaker

You can get a second-hand pair of ATCs (SCM-20A + sub, or just 50s with no sub) for that kind of money.

The 50s are more mid-field though.

I love mine in a way that could be considered illegal in some countries..

I'm using a set of the SLS S8R, and am amazed at the sound.

Check em out, I'm just a basement hack (studio wise, but boy can I drum) but I hear stuff on familiar recordings that I've NEVER heard before. YMMV thanks for listening, Tommy

I've got Gen's they work fine when a mix is going well, they tell me when mix going DOWN . Friends doing the pop stuff for big arty typals pop divas use Gen's (GUESS THEY ARE POP SPEAKS), lots of top, but Quested and Dyno would be my choice for main room biggy's.

How ever the 1038a's are a bit cheaper.

I thought Mccave was making them anymore(or supplying parts)? Or so it says on their website.

ADAM-USA is now the distributor. you can buy them at macmidi now... or straight through dave bryce.

thethrillfactor · 21st September 2002, 05:55 PM
