The Yamaha emblem even bears a slight resemblance to the First Order symbol, lol.

Get yer stormtrooper on Jer - those things are calling you out! Or just get some white Krylon for your current monitors. :lol:

Been building up a head of steam to get a pair of HN8's.
38hz to 30khz is pretty good for 8" speakers.

Right??? I have some nice 8' monitors that are a tad too big for my actual space! I make you good deal! They came highly recommended from Loop when I bought them.

Yeah the 8" are not too much more expensive but like I posted above and the other day, my space is 10x12.5 and I think the 8" are just too big to be effective in my space. I could be wrong though. I am assuming these 6.5's will be a bit fuller than the HS5's and thus probably not require a sub

My space is really tight too. But, I MUST have HS8's!!!! :rawk:

The issue with powered monitors (IMHO) is the rear connectors.
I know that you shouldn't put monitors flat against the wall (for acoustical reasons) and you can't anyway, because of the power line and speaker cables. But still, I wish monitors came with the connectors on the sides - you need at least 5" between the monitor and the wall.... rear connectors take up a lot of space and it's annoying.
The 12/15 cabinet that Mort built for me has the jacks on the side and it's a serious blessing!
I've been considering putting speaker jacks on the sides of my amps, just to save space and to make changing amps & cabs easier and faster.

I've been mixing on headphones and recently brought over a CD to a friends house, who has a sub woofer on his stereo.
I was shocked, stupefied and astonished to hear that my songs had low end! I mean, I didn't hear any of that low end when I mixed and I didn't really do much EQing.
It was pretty strange and cool at the same time, to hear that low end magically appear out of nowhere!

:hmm:

Jer - I've got a pearl-white Rokit 5" pair in fantastic condition. If you want to get some others and do a trade, I'd love to have black ones.

They look like this...

The strict utilitarian within me is crying, but you guys just convinced me to match all my gear to a uniform color/theme. Here go the next few paychecks...

GC's website has white JBL LSR305 monitors for buy one, get one half off. Totals out to $225 + tax. They don't look quite as cool as the Yamahas, but I have the regular black ones and they work great.

Edit: just realized you need 8" monitors

I have 8's that I am sizing down from. I like the Yamaha's since they are 6's. A slight bit more low end but not too big for my room.

Never tried any of the the JBL stuff... you like them?

I do. I bought mine from Sweetwater a couple Black Fridays ago. They had them for $100 each and they had pretty good ratings everywhere, so I took a chance on them. They seem pretty neutral and give a pretty honest reference. I've been pretty happy with them. I'm actually looking to pick up a second pair to hook up to my record player
