I use N-monitors. This is a small Russian company which produces hand-made studio monitors in a very low-volume way. That’s why their quality is extremely high. They sound better, than everything in <2000$ segment. Yeap, they sound better, than Adam. Much better.

This is the model N-200P, 8-inch.

The amplifier is Audio Force MA-200. Chinese, still very decent. Moreover, it was tweaked: all the capacitors were enhanced, the transistors were resoldered to Toshiba, the fan was changed to a silent “Noctua”.

P.S. sorry, I gonna sleep now, if any questions - dont hesitate to ask pls)

Hey, the same one, but SM-6P :)
Worked with N-200P and N-300P - they sound astounding for the price of them.

By the way, what model of the Noctua you have been used?
82

M-Audio BX6 Carbon.

83

LSR JBL308.

84

Forgot to add that I’m also using the Focusrite VRM box… I love this little thing with simulations of many monitors mentioned above. :wink:

85

Tannoy Reveal Active.

Bought them 10+ years ago, still works perfectly.

86

Sold my ADAM F5 because of poor mid perfomance and now happy with JBL LSR305 - detailed and punchy.

87

ADAM A7X

88

Mine are KRK V8s. Love the depth of range they have. Used them for years now.

I don’t know, the amplifier was already tweaked by Alex Nefyodov. Definitely 80mm fan, but the model I don’t know.

APS Aeon. Very accurate and honest. Unfortunately in my current room i have no acoustic treatment and I use also a headphones - AKG K 612 Pro. Very good piece of gear.

91

Genelec G Twos. I’ve been quite happy with them.

92

Neumann KH120 replaced my JBL 4328. Fantastic monitors.

93

Yamaha HS80 pretty good for me :slight_smile:

94

Adam A5X! beautiful sound! :slight_smile:

Guys, I assume that all of this models are expansive, but could you recommend me some monitors something like for about 250e?

96

JBL LSR305 - awesome sound for that money.

Consider M-Audio BX 5 D2. Here is review from Sound On Sound:

A friend has a pair: low is absent, low mids muddy, high mids aggressive and highs shrill … Every time he listens to his track in my studio, he cries… :wink: (I have an excellent PMC system and a big sub Dynaudio). So I don’t recommend them.

Look at KRK, cheaper models are correct. and most important, try before you buy!

In my opinion nothing beats the current Yamaha HS line in that price range. If you don’t have a sub try to get the 7" or 8" versions. The JBL SLR is a very good option as well.

Here’s a good comparison, nothing scientific, but a good way to compare the sound of each brand.

Hope that helps!
