Monitors vs Full Range


other than room constraints,what would be the reasons to choose a Monitor speaker over a full range floor standing type? As much as I try to find things better in my Monitors,(Acoustic Energy ae2, Sci Fi Crown Joules, Sonus Fabers, etc etc) they cant stack up to my Duntech floor standers. A monitor just lacks that mid bass that gives recordings a live real feel.

I agree you need real low base and monitors lack that. Thats why you had a couple of Rels and have the best of both worlds. The mid base in some would suprise you and my rels go to 18hz (I think).

It also allows the speaker encolsures to be more custom built for their specific needs by seperating them. Youre amps dont need to move that large woofer and can concentrate on the rest of the frequencies better. Its a more effecient system.

You have to go far up the line of products to get there but I always pefered ther sound of high quality monitors and subs to full range speakers.
