Buying your 1st monitors is confusing! :(

you shouldn't take the professional monitor reviews too seriously... they get paid to review.
read some user reviews on gearslutz.com they have some really good discussions on monitors with examples and stuff, so check it out.
in my opinion you should save some money and get the dynaudio bm6a or bm6a mk2, you will shave at least a year of bad mixes that result of cheap monitors.
i started from cheap monitors to..and over a course of 3 years upgraded to better monitors and in the end when i got the dynos i realized that in the beginning (when all the producers told me to buy the dynos and i didnt want to wait and save...) i should have saved money for 6 months or a year and bought them...that would have saved me 2 years of not trusting my monitors...
on the way to the dynos i passed behringer truth 2030, samson rubicons, adam a7 , krks... (all in the same room) and not one of those gave results that came close to dynaudio. i always had to guess whats going on in the below 100hz..and with the adams i also had to get used the the bright sound, it can get overwhelming sometimes. adam a7 is a great monitor but without a sub it more suited for acoustic music production.
good luck man.

Is there a way to counteract this? For now i'm living in a small place, am i forced to buy 'lighter' monitors?


~thx~

I gotta be honest; I'm really liking the look of the Dynaudio BM 6A Mk II.

I'm pretty sure we can get them here in South Africa, but I don't know if I'll be able to demo in my city.

Could I honestly take the chance and buy the BM 6A monitors without listening to them?

If all you guys are saying not to waste my money on entry-levels like Behringer, KRK or Alesis... then I'll rather save for 2 months.

I'm thinking that the Genelec 2030A might have a slightly small cone, thus not enough bass. The Adam A7 seems like a good contender, although you say it can be a bit bright.

If Amon Tobin uses BM 6A monitors, that's good enough for me! That guy produce some trippy breaks.

Also in that new interview with erez eizen from infected mushroom he mentioned he used ALOT of monitores during all hes years and he said Dynaudio BM6a is the best one for him, he could mix a track in any room with those without a problem =)
And the guy know how to get nice results for sure.
