    This is actually very appealing to me. As someone who listens to a lot of music but doesn't already have a speaker system or a thousand dollars to spend on Sonos gear, I'm wondering if this set up would be a good plan. #mintstudioreview

    That is a sexy console. NS-10s fit perfectly with the decor. But I don't like how.. uneven the rooms are. I want that Studer.

    @johnnyabnormal: Yeah. NS10`s are good for that tinny radio sound, i`d go with either some top of the range PMC monitors or ATC`s two of the best of the crop of UK monitor companies. Just sold my PMC TB2S+..I know i will live to rue the day...

    @johnnyabnormal: If you're mixing only for audiofiles, then I could see not having a need for NS-10s. But any engineer worth two shits know that you mix for your audience, not merely for yourself or even the client. 95% of the world is listening to music on speakers that cost about the price of the wood in the NS-10s to manufacture... or on 10 headphones, or worse, as a friggin ringtone.

    The NS-10s are just fine right where they are.

    @NameIsDave: Actually not dissing NS-10's for mixing. If you can get a mix to sound good on them, then your mix will sound great on almost anything else. However, a proper mix needs at least 3 sets of reference speakers. FYI: I mix for 100%.

    Yeah but you've got to mix for ALL of those things, possibly including audiophiles. Which is why, I'm assuming he said it's too bad they ONLY have NS-10's.

    @secret_curse: I'm well aware of what diffusion is. I'm also pretty sure there's a high gloss finish on the walls of those shiny, rectangular rooms. Those little wall nubs won't do squat if you're trying to cut down on refraction and bass coupling. It looks cool, but I bet you could slap your hands and hear slap back echos for at least a few seconds unless there are bass traps, diffusion, absorption or irregular room angles we are not seeing.

    @secret_curse: I forgot to mention: An acoustic "signature", like the frequency response of a room or it's impulse response is great if you're seeking to record in that environment. Say, like a modular string stage or a stairwell. On the other hand, you need the control room as neutral as possible. Otherwise, you'd have to compensate for that "signature" whenever you mix. It would also result in difficulty achieving continuity across multiple playback setups since nobody else would be listening to music with your unique acoustics.

    @johnnyabnormal: 100% is all well and good, and I'm glad that's what you mix for, but I was responding to what you said, not what you think (my telepathy only works within a 20 foot radius). You can get much more than "that tinny radio mix" from NS-10s. That's all I was responding to. =)

    @NameIsDave: Hey Dave, such a bummer you can't read my mind! I assure you, I never said, "that tinny radio mix". I do think NS-10's are an essential set of reference speakers, just as a crappy, mono, clock radio style speaker is essential as well. The more speaker sets, the merrier, I say. In the end, I usually trust speakers that have as flat a frequency response as I can get. That said, the NS-10's are invaluable because they are so generic and popular by design.

    @johnnyabnormal: granted those hrmk2's sure are sexy... i look forward to the day when i can comfortably afford such a beast... until then, i'll spend alot of time in the labs at college :-P... It's nice to know there is another logic user in the world. Sadly, it seems apple is determined to force the upgrade issue on creative professionals. Though i run all intel machines, it's disappointing nonetheless.

    @Scott.Gardeski:You'd be surprised how affordable the hrmk2's are compared to other bi-amplified monitors. I've been using Logic since '96? It was not owned by Apple then. I don't plan to upgrade my main rig to Intel till after I'm convinced everything can be translated to Snow Leopard without too many problems. I give it another 8 months and obsessive discussion board reading.

    @johnnyabnormal: As a man who has never made a mistake in his life, I must confess I attributed the "tinny radio" line to you, when in fact it should have been attributed to the user "Karkarwy" - who was responding@you... but I still choose to blame you for inspiring those words to come out of his fingers because he was essentially attempting to agree with you. =)
