Regarding-
I agree here. What I meant to say is that the Events are comparable when
considering usability over time. I think all monitors have thier quirks and
you have to know your speakers and how they sound.
Matt
are the event
TR8XL speakers. Incredible. They sound comparable to the
Mackies or NS10s.
I've done direct comparisons.
That's a bit confusing, as the Mackie monitors I've heard
(624 and 824) sound nothing at all like the old Yamaha NS10s.
The Mackies have good bass extension and a reasonably accurate
midrange. The Yamahas had no bass extension and a strongly exaggerated
midrange. <rant>It's a good thing Yamaha finally discontinued the NS10 or
people would probably still be buying the horrible things.</rant>
I did kinda like the older Event 20/20p for the price, I
haven't heard the new models but historically they've made some nice
bang-for-the-buck systems. The only thing I didn't like about the
20/20 compared to the Mackie 624 was a hint of "plastic"-sounding
resonance in the midbass, and a very slightly harsh treble that might
be annoying after a long day of mixing. But I could certainly get work
done on it, and the price is/was a heck of a lot lower.
