Production Speakers

[mattus123]

Hey hey, ive stumbled across a 2nd hand selling

Behringer Truth B1030A x 2 for $330

i know generally people (myself included) say stay away from behringer speakers

but what's your opinion on these for production purposes

cheers

Think Johnny has a pair (or similar)

hopefully he sees this and chimes in

You can get Rokit's fairly cheap too, which seems to be popular although they get pretty poor reviews against decent speakers.

For what you'd be looking for in a production monitor, yeah. Great for listening, not so great for critical listening due to the mid-bass hump.

Why is it surprising? Entry level gear would be expected to review poorl against high end stuff, i'm not bagging them they are a great option if you don't want to spend a heap of money.

i read that as saying rokits get poor reviews lel

[Mitch]

That is what he is saying

i was under the impression Behringer was entry level gear and Rokits were high end?

[GREMM1S]

Behringer is really low end lol, that said go check some out is really the only way to truly tell!

[Gandy]

so what do you recommend over rokits grem?

Again i will highly recommend the Yamaha hs80m's, i was looking at cheaper units, but in the end i waited a bit longer, kosmic here in perth did em for 699 the pair. So happy i didnt compromise.

Genelec M40's.

i'd like to hear a set of these. They're gonna be good. Dunno how much they are though.

rokits are the entry level....VXT's are the next step up if u got the $$$

the behringers arent that bad dood! but like the boys said...they are entry level.

in any case you will train your ear to them after using them for awhile.

^^^have to agree here...i own the same speakers and they just cant be beat!

if u wanna save a bit more for a pair of monitors that u will pretty much never have to second guess and swap out later down the track.

the yammy hs80m's are the best for there price range.
