I’m getting ready to do some changing to my home studio and I have an opportunity to upgrade my system and I want the best professional products I can get so long as they they aren’t cost prohibitive. I’m also looking at setting up a stream sometime in the spring of 2013. I welcome any input from this community that addresses the following two questions.
(1) What are the speakers you use on your computer with Breakaway LIVE in your home or office studio?
(2) What are your likes and dislikes for your particular speaker choice?Thanks everyone!
kes11That is very questionable, also you’ll get very different responses about that. I can tell you what i have now.
Decided to get some monitors for radio but for lowest price. We now have there 2 pairs of Behringer’s 2031P. And now at least one person will say that those are crap, but i liked sound especially when i heard much more expensive ones.
For home i get same but Active. 2031A. Matched pair.Also… you can always use Breakaway’s PEQ to fine calibrate.

It won’t be me. I have a pair of B2031A hanging around too. 😉[quote author=”Boki”]And now at least one person will say that those are crap[/quote]
Nope………. Nothing wrong with them at all.But I prefer to choose the amplifier 🙄
I have a couple of these for basic monitoring.

Well, if you search web/forums, and oppinions about Behringer, 8 out of 10 will just say "crap".
btw, i like to use old Technics amplifiers. A or AA class. 🙂I use two of these (http://www.thomann.de/gb/ks_digital_c5_tiny_single.htm) in combination with this sub (http://www.nubert.de/index.php?action=p … category=1) in my main listening room. No EQ, just an active crossover (100 Hz) between sub and tops are in use – and I get a flat line measure on a RTA! And it sounds like magic – best money I’ve ever spend on audio equipment (besides Breakaway
)Holy crap!
650 euro for one speaker…. Must be one hell of a speaker.
And you must have 1 set of good ears to hear that.Happy New Year to all of you!!!
Last month I decide to try a set of active studio monitors.
My experiense was all the time, many years, with Hi-Fi speakers and with a passion to B&W speakers.I was many hours at a local store to test many sets (as last, two monitor sets).
KRK RP5 RoKit G2 (http://www.thomann.de/gb/krk_rp5_g2_rokit.htm) and Yamaha HS50M (http://www.thomann.de/gb/yamaha_hs50m.htm)Yamaha’s sound is brilliand with a very good stereo image and very clear mid/hi but, ….you need a sub for low freq. 🙁
Compare it for a long time, with various recordings and styles of music, I found KRK’s more solid,much more fast from Yamaha’s (for one more time,natural,wide sound)
and with better bass picture (for a near field monitor speaker, I prefer front-firing bass port for this 😉 ).The main use of the active speakers was for webradio monitoring,editing,jingles production and at some rare cases for mastering.
Except that KRK’s are a little bit "crispy" at hi freq., I’m very satisfied with this set!!
My next choice will be a set of KRK VXT8 for home studio (http://www.thomann.de/gb/krk_vxt8.htm) …if I have the money 🙂
Sounds amazing!!!Greetings,
GeorgeAs you say KRK – I’ve done a studio monitor speaker comparision at University last summer. We also tested the RP5 G2, and for the money, they’re kicking ass!
For the german readers: I’ve attatched the evaluation PDF-document of my speaker comparison test to this post (in a rar-archive, because pdf’s are not allowed). Maybe it’s useful for somebody in here 8)
