monitors

[deeplfo]

That's so funny, I switched from a pair of A7s to the D8s because of that "coloration" that you refer to. I also was not too impressed with the reliability of the A7s as I had to change the amp in one of them and wasn't going to do it again.  I feel my D8s are much more accurate and flat.
But as others have stated it, it does come down to your own ears, budget, etc..  I would also add the size of the space you will be using them.
Have fun auditioning.

I currently use a pair of Equator D8 in my studio. I'm quite happy with 
them.

But today I played some of my tracks on my old Adam A7's and that was 
kind of a shock to me. They sound completely different and there were 
some mid's i just don't hear on the D8's.

Unfortunately one of the Adam A7's has an issue (it drops out every now 
and than, no woofer any more...) and I'm not sending it back to Adam as 
that would be the 3th time I send that monitor back for repair...

I'm in the market for a second set of monitors, any suggestions, budget 
is roughly 1000€. I intend to go listen to some monitors in a couple of 
weeks, but need to send my list of possible contenders in advance so the 
shop can prep them...

Adam's out due to bad experience
I definitely going to  listen to Mackies XR824 and Eve's SC207.
I wasn't a fan of KRK and genelec a couple of years ago, but maybe they 
have some new improved stuff...
What about Yamaha or dynaudio?
And should i get a sub?

Thanks for your feedback!

Cheers,
ToAd
