While we're on the subject; QB, shouldn't you really have those speakers on proper stands or wall-mounted? Just bunging them on top of wooden shelves isn't much cop. Extraeneous (sp?) vibrations will seriously muddy the sound quality. Tut tut tut.

they're actually too heavy and slightly too large for any normal speaker brackets i could find in the shops (ie: richer sounds, etc) - and their position doesnt really lend itself to stands... its a bit crowded in that corner of the room

in case you were wonderking, this is the monitor speakers in question: http://www.alesis.com/products/m1active/

tres cool.

Ah. Ok. I have these speakers attached to the wall with these (the top set). But your speakers are too heavy for the rating on the Gale stands.

i think the review on that site is a little harsh though. they sound every bot as nice as they look

I have everything going through my "normal" stereo! It can be a bit troublesome switching cables down the back of the amp though; I could do with one with a few more line inputs. Christmas maybe...

These (stand-mounted, natch):

You didn't answer his question about "reflection".

I also see your monitor speakers are positioned horizontally on top of the mixing desk.

Read this:

I forgive your error, oh sir Bux, for you cannot know.
Unlike all the others here, you failed to see the horizontal mounted speakers are not MONITOR speakers, but Yamaha NS10m NEAR-FIELD REFERENCE speakers.

These are specifically made for horizontal monting and are only there to give you a low-DB (usually between -10 and -26) reference sound.

There is no variable comb filtering needed and the off-axis reflection will not influence the general sound, for there is none. Also, my room is built to support up to 20 Hz off-axis numbing, so this will certainly not be a problem for me, even if the subs were indeed active monitors.

Otherwise, herr Chairman, you are completely correct.

I did not answer his question about reflection.

Sorry

OTOH, Quiffy, your setup is far from good.

Then again, you don't have the room I have

BTW: what's that mixing desk thingy you are using? Behringer?
