Newbie needs advice for upgrade.
Recording studio monitors are not large stage or musician monitors. Their purpose is different. You've seen the smaller, sealed off studios where the recording engineers sit in front of large mixer boards? There's usually 2-3 pairs of different mo...

I'll ring in too with "Don't feel embarrassed". Look at the Legendary Audio gear thread. I began by making a audiophile notebook. I listed the most highly regarded components first from different references. Component matching becomes more and mor...

If your place is smaller, I'd consider powered studio monitors with a matching sub. It can be set-up like nearfield monitors in a recording studio. This will provide a clean balanced sound to develop your ears. I'd recommend 2-way with 8 inch bass...

Anyone heard or own Klipsch RF7 ?
I've owned the full 5-channel set for 3 years. A digital room analizer miked through my processor helped set-up very much. Many experienced high end audiophiles in editor positions swear by digital room acoustic and speaker analizers. This feature...
