Hi all,
I've got a small studio for creating and mixing music, not mastering. I'm considering building some speakers to upgrade my current situation, I guess im looking for something I can turn up for more 'fun' in the studio, whilst also providing me a greater level of detail to improve my mixes.
Current setup:
Fireface800,
Yamaha msp5's
Sampson resolve 120a subwoofer.
My Room is 5mx3m with a 2.5m ceiling - its reasonably well treated with floor to ceiling bass traps in all four corners and generic acoustic foam on all walls.
I've mainly been looking at Troels Gravesen's designs, I started by looking at the Studio 101, then reading that the Discovery W18 was an improvement on this became interested in bigger speakers before finally ending up at the SEAS-3-Way-Classic-mkII!
I can adjust my listening distance to account for the bigger unit, but cant place them much more than 70-80cm from the wall. Would this be a problem?
Also, im having trouble researching an amplifier that would be suitable for studio monitoring...
My budget for the loudspeaker build is ~1k
Any advice would be much appreciated!
