Hey, list,
So, I'm in the market for monitors with a budget of approx $1000
I have a pair of Tannoy Reveal available for abour 500 Euros (approx.
700 USD). They are active and provide a solid, sober sound, up to
mid/higher loudness levels. The only issue to me: they are a bit too
sober. My first mixes with them tend to sound overdone especially in the
higher ferquencies if played on common Hifi-equipment.
(CAD in
my case) and I've been trying to do my homework about the better known
models and brands in the last couple of days, mainly thanks to SOS's
excellent series of reviews. I need small monitors, both because the
room I work in is small accoustically, and because my actual space
real-estate is very limited.
Well OK, the Tannoys are not the smallest speakers imaginable. But they
sound even bigger than they are and in the end I always found enough
space to mount them. Since they are active you also do not need to
provide space for a usable amp...
As of now I have them in about 1.2 meters from my head while sitting in
front of the screen.

Anyway, it suddenly occured to me to ask on
this list what my fellow Linux Users are favouring these days.
Cheers,
