Buying HS80s
Which is why the original thread would have turned into a forum relevant post
:rolleyes: |
And if you'd posted that, I wouldn't have locked it. Not a fan of these "hey, guess what my thread is about!" threads. They always seem funny to the people who are in the joke but they're just noise to everybody else. |

It was about HS80's?!? I thought it was about DJ RANN always being right - and hence why you locked it. It would be akin to me starting a thread stating the sky is blue. There was simply no need to belabor the obvious. :p |

That's not what it was at all.
Your prerogative admin. |

It was a sort of inside joke but a pretty public one as nearly every thread recently that has discussed monitors has had some sort of discussion about HS80 vs KRK's and most of those posts have come from me and Tehlord.
The problem was, if I had seen it in time (before it was closed) there would have been real discussion about the actual topic.
Back OT - that's kind of what i was talking about with the KRK's - it's not that they badly distort or have massive scoop(s) at places in the spectrum - it's more like a overall lack of detail - a harsh analogy would be like putting a plastic bag over your monitors and listening through that.
getting the HS80's is like taking that plastic bag off (not to mention, far better bass response and a flatter overall response. |

They are nice but do slightly lack in the real lower end / true sub range. They're fantastic for music better suited to radio which are heavy in vocals and real instruments but I find something lacking with the Tannoy Precisions for EDM because of the lack of deep low end.
Palm - you should consider the HS80's ( it's like I have shares in yamaha or something) - I personlly don't really understand the mid price range monitor market anymore.
By that I mean I just don't really get why people don't go one way or the other - either go cheap and get the LSR2325p's or HS80s or go the whole hog and get focals or if you're really loaded the barefoots. That middle ground just doesn't seem to make sense to me anymore when the cheap ones are so good value and the expensive ones are really not *that* much more than the mid range priced monitors but are simply in a different league. |

| the really deep end doesnt bother me too much as long as it can handle it without starting to distort. i like them to go deep but it doesnt have to be flat down there. a slow rolloff from 80Hz and down is more than enough i think. i will consider the HS80 but im afraid the upper mid aint good enough. i might just save longer and get some serious but i dont really know which ones to save for. the focal twins are too big. the solos are probably too weak. jbl lsr6328 are probably too big again (they are monsters). event opal might be a solution. atleast ive started looking at 8" woofers now as i like some power handling. |
