New monitors for the home studio..(Sub �400/speaker)

[KorgyPorky]

I am looking for new studio monitors to use at home in my studio room with my keyboards and my DAW.. in generally most recordings i do are meant for my own backings..

 

I have been looking at this short list..

I have a 15% rabbat coupon.. so prices are 15% lower..

 

-Kali LP6 (188)

-KRK Rokit kr5 G4(199)

 

At the low end, where espescially the Kali gets some incredible reviews, but how do they compare to my other options at the high end of my set price range?

 

- Hedd Type 05 (444)

- Adam AX5 (378)

- Eve SC205 (399)

 

All these 3 have a ribbon tweeter, from which i like the sound..

Now, i have heared all of these except for the Rokits..

But all in other places, so not in a direct comparisson..

I was not be able to find a shop where i can compare several of them..

I did read/watch some reviews, but dont know how tainted they are with commercial influence.

 

 

So i am looking for user experiences here

I´m searching small ones for a small room and came across Adam T5V/T7V and Fluid Audio F5.

Those are comparable size.

All 5 cones

I compared the Adam T5 to the Adam A5x, there was a huge difference in sound and clarrity, the A5x performed considerably better, according to my ears. There was much more dttail in the mids and highs, and a lot more Base..

I recently replaced my KRK Rokit 5's they had ground hum which I later discovered was a problem for all of them that year, they only lasted a couple years, and the Rokit line over hyped bass.

 

I replaced them with the ADAM Audio T7V 7" ($199 each) and what great sounding monitors. That ribbon tweeter is so clear and natural sounding not brittle. They are a little bit large than the KRK's.

 

I listen to a number of brands of speakers and the difference in sound between 5" and 7" speakers is huge in my opinion. I would say definitely compare 5" and 7" of same brand speaker I think you'll find the difference in sound is worth the extra $$$ and finding a little extra space in your setup.

I went from Rokit 5s to Equator D5s and now HEDD Type 05.

 

No comparison, you get what you pay for.
