Members CB3874 Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hello, I need some help finding a good pair of powered speakers / monitors for a music room. They would be used for various things: * general music listening * using Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 for guitar & bass with an Apogee Duet 2 as interfacehttp://www.native-instruments.com/#/...tar-rig-5-pro/http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet2.php * using Fxpansion BFD2 with an Apogee Duet 2 as interface, using my electronic drums (Roland TD11-KV)http://www.fxpansion.com/index.php?page=53&tab=148http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/1227/483 * possibly plugging into a mixer to be used as monitors for jamming, usually plugging various instruments like electronic drums, Line 6 pods, .... * recording & mixing in Logic 9 I'm looking for something nice and clean, that can handle the low end of drums & bass and lots of guitars. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueGreene Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 In live sound and production you'll get pro advice. For loudspeaker applications: JBL PRX 612s over (1 or 2) PRX 618XLF or the quite similar (performance wise) QSC KW 122 over KW 181 are good options. I personally have use a hodge podge of QSC HPR tops over yorkville LS subs. They're pretty good, but heavy. For studio work, I use some JBL LSR 2300 series speakers. I like them. Lower-ball gear but plenty good for my uses. You're not going to get the low end without subs no matter how you slice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members i386 Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm in a similar situation. I only play at home, but I've been struggling to find a sound I'm happy with. I have 2 rigs... 1) Guitar -> M-Audio Fast Track Pro -> PC -> Guitar Rig -> Logitec PC Speakers w/subwoofer. 2) Guitar -> DIY Soldano X88R clone -> TC Electronic G-Major 2 -> DIY 50W EL34 Power Amp -> Mesa Recto 212 You would think #2 sounds good. It does, but not at low volume. I have to get it stupid loud before it starts to sound good. I find myself 95% of the time just using Guitar Rig. I've been thinking about getting an HD500 and some studio monitors like KRK 8". If I could buy only one thing right now (HD500 or monitors) which would make the greatest improvement in sound in my #1 rig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
