Thanx for editing your post. But what's your point?omo wrote:Samson Resolve 65a are not to be called monitors. Not that you can't hear difference on them, off course.

It's not about the word used, although word "monitor" is used for a reason. It's about how accurate they are. My point was that tht's not any accurate monitoring system. OMU asked you about monitors and I commented on your answer. Peace.fritzman wrote:Sorry, I don't get it. I don't care how you call my monitors/speakers, really. What's your point?

Yamaha NS-10 is always referred to as a near field monitor. And they're several multiples shitter than those samsons. Suppose that's up to taste, but they are nowhere near accurate in modern standardsomo wrote:It's not about the word used, although word "monitor" is used for a reason.

No they're not. Not by a long way.Kingston wrote:Yamaha NS-10 is always referred to as a near field monitor.

To clarify a bit futher, fritzman, an example: I can give you 2 clips of two different eqs applied, the sound will be very similar and you'll probably hear difference on any speakers, even 3$ computer ones. Some speakers will make one clip sound better then another and vice-versa. But you won't be able to really find out which one is better in terms of preserving original quality unless you listen in accurate monitoring environment.
And no, NS10 aren't monitoring grade speakers. They're hi-fi "checkthisout" ones.

But then, I wouldn't call my BM6A accurate either. Soft dome tweeters are nice and pleasing at best, but not accurate. Kind of like sugar on top.
The latest genelecs I'd call accurate (better imaging and transients, and dynaudio is really good already), but it's a tradeoff as there's more fatique when those transients attack the ears over extended perioids.

One could argue about the accuracy of my "speakers", no problem. I don't want to get into more detail about them here as this would only make sense for people who know these monitors and who know better ones (which I do) to be able to compare beyond prejudice.

I can only think of a few drive units that are as accurate as a ScanSpeak Revelator. None is a dynamic tweeter and all have other problems.

They can be, these aren't. (we just a/b listened genelec vs dynaudio in my studio yesterday)nuffink wrote:Soft dome tweeters can be as accurate as any other kind of dynamic speaker.

With revelators We're talking £2000 vs. something more along the lines of £35000 as well.
Right now diamond is where it's really at with the ultra hi-end, the revised b&w nautilus range a good example. I've only heard the previous generation, and well, DAMN they're good! needs quite the amp, too.

I'm well aware of the differences between my monitors and their environment and more transient true monitors in an acoustically good treated listening environment. For the stuff I'm doing mostly my monitors are good. I seldom have acoustic stuff going here. For such I would go to a different studio with better monitors and different rooms if I would look for certain room sounds.
I mostly work in the range from electronic to rock stuff. This means that for me it's more important to shape a sound in certain ways than to preserve the original qualities of acoustic signals. Therefore it's enough for me to judge if it sounds "good".
