Hi all.
Sorry for the incredible long title, tried to sum it all up in one go:P
This is the situation:
I'm located in Barcelona, and the chances to get my hands on, even listen to, the monitors I'm interested in are pretty much nonexistent.
Therefore, I will have to buy my monitors based on reviews alone, which of course isn't ideal and can be quite confusing, but you do what you have to do:P
First, I will explain my room.
The room is about 3m * 4m (9.8 feet * 13.1 feet), and the height is about 2.5m (8.2 feet). It has been acoustically treated with basstraps in every corner except the floor-wall corners, FR-pannels on the walls and the roof above the mixing position and carpet on the floor. The back wall is covered with basstraps as well. My current monitors are facing the long way down the room (4m).
The monitors I have as my main monitors now are the Yamaha Hs80M, and I'm quite happy with the way my mixes translate. I'm now looking for another set of smaller monitors to check the mixes on and to make sure the higher frequency range sounds balanced as well. I also would like it to be front ported monitors since the back of the monitors will be facing a window, unlike the HS80Ms, which have their backs facing two basstraps.
The money I have to spare and the availability of different monitors (along with my tests of the monitors I actually HAVE managed to get my hands on) have narrowed the selection down to these:
Focal Alpha 50 and Alpha 65, Yamaha msp5 studio, Fostex PX5 and PM641.
The music I deal with the most is rock with a hint of industrial (mix between the White Stripes and NIN), electronic pop/soul and different types of movie soundtracks often involving strings and brass. I also do some post production.
Based on this information, and your own experience, which ones of these monitors do you think would fit my room and my needs best?
Again, I'll have to buy before I try, so your opinion is highly appreciated!:)
looking forward to hearing everyone's opinion!
