thinking of moving the m1s to the living room, relegating the hrs onto secondary and going for something bad ass on main
Been looking around some quested, genelec and Adam, and those KRK expose's....
For the thumpy thumpy stuff! Suggestions? (budget £1-3)

whos is?) bigger speakers just become harder to judge, ive found using my dynaudio bm6as at
fairley low volume gives me a pretty good sound and balance still not perfect, and as you turn up
volume you just cause the room sound and standing waves to become to much and mess up
judgement, so getting bigger better monitors are diminishing returns unless your room is correct,
bass trap and kill reflections behind above and to the sides at least and see the difference may
take a bit to adjust, but so many of us me included just havent done this yet and everyone that
has says the difference is well worth it, then buy a 20,000 watt pa and scare the neighbours lol

studios well treated as is - speaking of worthwhile things, if any of you have a spare 100 squid for shits and giggles, get a set of those china cones. best money ever spent on something that doesnt look like it would work very well . Got them fitted on the HRs and the difference is really unbelievable in stereo image especially - one of the big companys should start fitting them as standard onto the high end ranges and get a gimmick going
Dynaudio... i missed those out, there def on the list also - problem is getting to a place thats got this stuff set up for checking out.
I reckon this studios about 16 x 14 - the hrs are loud enough in here and sound solid, but i also know despite the hype there not as flat as they should be - theres a glaring hole in the low mids (noticedthis in every studio ive been to using hrs) that i have to double check on m1s before club play to make sure i caught it! Nice on the ears sub bass and soft highs wise tho....especially for mixing on all day every day...
One of my mates brought round a set of fairly expesnive genelecs, not sure the model, but sounded fairly brittle on top compared to the hrs - but i suspect were being pretty truthful....
decisions!!!

Though they go plenty loud, I think their focused directionality reduces HF reflections in your room, so they are appropriate for smaller rooms. Our B room (which houses the SLS) has the trickiest sonics in our whole facility, and we've had lots of issues with 5.1 Mackie 824's and subwoofer placement. The SLS seems to minimize these issues.
Also plenty of bass.... I usually turn our sub off with these, whereas the Mackies needed it. Big sound.

I was surprised when I heard the price, too... comparable to 824's! Good luck finding a pair to demo, but trust me. They are very serious contenders

Real tightening of bassend and stereo image that my brain still cant comprehend mainly. The bass and stereo is what i remember being most shocked at after fitting them.
I have the m1s narrow infront (either side of the double screens) and the hrs wider L/R triangle and a good trick is getting producers to sit down in front and play the hrs with something panned around the m1s angle, and watch there faces as you switch onto the m1s as they are swearing its the m1s playing.
I was notoriously bad at hearing/mixing stereo image before the cones ( andrew will testify to that! ) but since ive had them its been night and day. Id not be without them now actually
