Let's thank our lucky stars that the era of Yamaha
NS10 monitors is behind us so we don't have to suffer
hearing fatique or explain things that way anymore or
is that as much as before. Or something. ahhh!
Maybe the only thing I've learned is that
I'd
aproach
another purchase decision the same way and hope
for
better luck next time.

Bob Katz's book had some interesting comments about
this sort of stuff,
basically coming down to the idea (my paraphrasing
here) that mixing
monitors are not meant for 'enjoyment' but for
'task'. We all get to the
point where we can do a good mix with whatever
monitors we own. However,
we don't always 'enjoy' the sound of those monitors.
We understand they
are too bright, harsh, muddy, whatever the
appropriate adjective, but we
get the job done and the mix ends up sounding good
on most systems. I
think he's basically right. That said, I'd rather mix on monitors I really
enjoy, but I cannot
afford to... ;-)
You, me and everyone else including Katz.
