ok... so i'm looking to purchase some monitors or some loud ass self powered/amplified P.A. speakers for my music creation... headphones don't do it anymore.... anyone suggest any? which would be better? |

i believe monitors are what you want.. but i'll let more qualified people give you the specifics. |

the two things have completely different applications as far as i know. i thought PA systems are designed for live applications? i don't regard PA systems as having great quality, even in good venues. |

but you see... my mixer and sound card are made for the "live" application... my headphones can be used for really accurate monitoring imho |

okay... my answer is that PA systems are generally of inferior quality, but if you are planning on playing live somewhere that doesn't have a PA system, you'd want a PA instead of studio monitors. if your concern is great quality for producing music in a studio environment, you don't want a PA, you want the monitors. i don't know what your budget is, but the best idea is to check out a local music store that sells PA systems. tell them what kind of music you'll be doing and have them show you something appropriate. bring along a CD and play that on it if possible. i strongly recommend comparing different systems so that you can hear the difference for yourself. |

what i'm interested in, is the mackie srm450's or the jbl eon g2 (i believe that's the right one...) but... for just a little more savings... i could go with the mackie sr1530z's :) that'd be ridiculous |

well, i'm not an expert on the differences between brands (best thing to do is trust your own ears, imo), but i've never heard jbl's that i liked. maybe it's only the cheaper jbls that are really bad... they're made of plastic and stuff... but i don't think i've ever heard this particular model, so i am not sure. |

i just need deep bass you can feel... a midrange that won't damage the ear drum... and highs that add flavor to ANY mix... i've heard the srm450's in use and i'm heavily impressed it's the actual monitors like what A.D.A.M. makes or any speaker that has spatial equalization shit built into it... the shit trips me out... i have no clue where to begin... no one sells that shit where i'm from, just p.a. systems. |

Those Mackies are grrrrrrreat! We use them for reharshall and live shows in small places. They go louder than the drummer so u can hear the machines while he plays. And for small locals, they're enough to blast the audience. But the fact is they are not very usefull for studio/room work. Too big, too loud... You can't put that on the sides of your computer and go, unless you wanna get deaf... My suggestion: Get the mackies 450 for live shows and band reharshalls, get a pair of cheap Behringer Truth (unless you can afford some Mackie Monitors) for computer/room work. Just my opinion... |
