Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over the years my ears have been getting better and better, moving up speaker by speaker, getting better at recording, and i am finally at the point that i think i have a very good grasp on how to record/mix and how speakers should sound.
That said, I bought these M-Audio 8" near field monitors a few days ago, after tearing my hair out looking for a (mainly) computer listening speaker for my itunes, and secondly to do some casual guitar/voice recording when i was bored or felt like writing a song. I've heard monitors from Mackie, M-Audio, plenty of Genelecs, and heard differences in too many $30,000+ loudspeakers that many people only pretend to.
These 130 watt self-powered monitors are the best sounding speakers under $1500 easy. The stereo imaging when used for nearfield listening is simply incredible, and the sheer audio resolution of these speakers will put a big smile on your face. Most people get lost in finding the speaker that is ultimately "technically" perfect at re-creating a sound wave. These speakers don't necessarily do that but they do sound incredible. Much like Bose's idea about what makes a good speaker. If it sounds good, it's a good speaker.
I'd be careful when using these as actual studio monitors in a critical mixing environment. Mainly because bass is a bit heavy. Don't get me wrong, during playback it will make most songs sound like a million bucks (even some encoded at 128kbps) but take into account that if you mix to make your bass sound even, then your recording will lack bass. Best to listen to other monitors or otherwise get a baseline of how the speakers perform compared to how the flat recording sounds.
