btw, does anyone know what the deal is with the Samson Rubicon Ribbon monitors? When I saw the words "ribbon monitors" I was scratching my head and thinking of ribbon mics, but I know it's got to be a different type of design?

Too bad....didn't anyone else had chance to listen them, test them....??? ( I mean mainly on S8's )

As with all monitors I;ve heard differing opinions. i think SOS have reviewed them though

I guess it might be something like the ADAM P-11 for instance, who have something like a special ribbon Tweeter for the High end...
But Samson might on one Hand seem like a bargain, on the other Hand it might be cheap.

I have a pair of samson rubicons

they have a ribbon tweeter but it is a different design from the adams (which are folded or something)

they recieved a good review in tape op and sound on sound

I like them too, but they're my first pair of monitors, so take that with a grain of salt

oh, ok.

In case of PM 0.5 you should mention it is necessary to buy it in a bundle with a subwoofer ..

So .. better the big ones .. PM2

i read in mureous sources that german mag called "keyboards" did a shootout of 25 different nearfield powered monitors, however i could not find a translated version of this
anyone know if a translation exists?

right now im stuck (dillema) between getting a pair of dynaudio bm5a's (1200 cdn$) or a pair of mackie hr624's (which i can get from a friend used for $800 cdn)

also gong to supplement them with a sub (either the tapco sw10 or krk rp10 not sure yet)

Since when did Edifier make monitors? I thought they only made multimedia speakers which are ok for home entertainment purposes...not suitable for audio monitoring.

Has anyone tried out the Alesis M1 Active 620's? They are peaking my interest but i cant find a pair to demo, or any reviews. I made another post that has links to reviews of the 520's here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=134300
They are very positive overall but still none to be found for the 620's...
