They are studio monitors, and good ones at that.James Blast wrote:how do they handle subsonics, a Bassheid like me needs tae ken?
AFAIK, these MKII models are a lot better balanced in sound than others in their price category (Yamaha NS-10M for example, them 'white coneys' you see in a lot of studios), which is paramount for a studio monitor.
They give a nice rounded bass, but they tend to cut rather sharply down around the 50 Hz.
Which is not really a problem because that subsonic BOOOMMMM will still be heard, but it will sound 'controlled' instead of 'all over the place'.
After a second's thought, they're nothing for you James...

naw, they don't sound like my thaang Iz, ta
can you recommend a really sloppy big fat bass sounding speaker combo or should I just buy a sub-woofer and if so what would chum up well with my gorgeous Yamaha DSP-A5 amp, it has a dazzling array of in and outputs?
