Dunno if there's an acoustics sticky, man.

speaking of acoustics, it aint precise but i've been looking to procure an old couch to damp the corners of my room. one of those 6 cushion ones would probably sort the whole place.

One of them fancy Scando jobs that fits in the corners would be ideal innit!

whew this could get to be a long thread! I've had crazy good luck with the Wharfedale 'diamond 8.2' monitors at home. My home room is pretty extensively treated for fairly neutral frequency response, and that will make a biiiiig diff with any monitor. For real the mixes I do on 'em translate pretty dang well on every other system I play the mixes on. I'd really prefer to have Adams at home, but life keeps interfering with the cost! The Wharfedales cost something like $300 new here in the states... shocking value. I also use a pair of M-Audio 'studio pro 3's' for a boombox-type comparison; those are like $150 the pair. Good to have a larger & smaller pair to quickly A/B and check mixes on....

I have a set up 8.1s are they suitable as monitors as well do you know?

(have a set of uber fancy hhbs too so I'm laughing either way and I don't even do any mixing/recording)

M-Audio BX5A's are good for mastering to compare dynamics

good range in them
