Published on 09/06/12 at 13:23I was looking for small speakers (not too much space on my desk, which is full of other stuff ...), active, because do not want to lose up to an amp.
I had heard that many of the BX8, and in terms of price, they place great compared to equivalent among competitors (which is important for a beginner mixer home studio like me)
I've used an M-Audio Profire 2626, very satisfying. Since I went on a M-Audio Firewire 410. I am less happy, but it may be only psychological
SOUNDS
The frequency curve is not too bad until ≠ 100Hz, below is a little less, and under 50Hz is the Berezina
The stereo image seems really good (warning: this is a beginner who has not tested a lot of material that says that)
When I listen to music, I find that the whole spectrum is clean.
But curiously, when it is I who mixes, I find the bass (especially low MA) and really present too "muddy". So I tend to lower the bass level, but once past the headphones (Beyer DT770), it lacks bass.
So I think this lack of bass comes from my placement (on the desktop, 15cm from the wall. It sucks, mas I have no choice at the moment). So a tip, try to place them in height, a little further away from the wall, especially as there is a vent at the back for low
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 6 months since the used, and this is my first model speaker monitoring.
As mentioned above, what I like less is the same time it lacks bass, and too low
I think the price / quality ratio is very good. After that, there's no mystery, with a 5-boomer 'and less than 200 € the pair, we can not get into mastering. But for small demos, and controlling with a good headphone is nickel
And yes, I would do this choice, PCQ is especially compact I was looking for
