How are they compared to the Phonic P 8 A's? I'm going to buy one of these, but don't know wich would be the best choice.. anyone?

i spent the first 5 yrs fo my production life with these babies. loved them.

Looks like a should get a pair then, my 20 year old amp and hifi speakers just arent helping much :cry:

What do u use now mr eg?

[techno_smack]

how many pairs did u get through aswell?

[DJZeMig_L]

I tryed both and on my studio (mind u this might b due 2 my personal taste and room acustics) and prefered the Phonics over the Alesis.

ok thanks..
and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.. but when would I need a subwoofer? I saw the Mackies 624's with matching sub.. :S

[DJZeMig_L]

If u r about 2 use the speakears for studio use as reference monitors, I would keep away from subs. It's hard enought 2 know yer speakears and learn how they translate 2 most systems, let alone matching a sub!

Yes, I'll only use them in my 'studio' :) Thanks for your help mate.. I'm going for the Phonics..

Cheers!

m8, don't just go for my words... Try both. Like I said... they sound good 2 me but that doesn't it's better! ;)

Do you all use ur monitors for production and djing? Or is that not a good idea???

[DJZeMig_L]

there is a very long post about that already.. I prefer seperate.. more power less def 4 djing.

Less power best definition 4 Prodution!
