Any1 can reference or coment on the HHB Circule range (3 and 5 I think)??

How do these match against Absolute 0 or Monitor 1 MKII??

Thanks in advance,

I've got HHB Circle 5 A's (active) and I've had them for 1 1/2 years now...

When I was buying I tested them against the Mackie 824's, M1's, some smaller Genelics, and various other monitors.. and I rated the Circles over them all!! No added colour or warmth (mackies seemed like they warmed up heavy basses) and others didn't have the depth...

Speakers are obviously pretty personal, but these come highly recommended!!

what about ALESIS one Mk2 new active monitors. i heard they re good.

if someone knows what established producers use, maybe i can judge by the sound they make, cause there is no way i can test monitors, simply cause there are no any in my country. i ll have to either order them or go in austria to get em.

i'd say about 800 USD for the pair mate.

Did anyone hear the new Event TR-8?

The specs look nice + they're pretty cheap too!

**gmtraxx** · 01-04-2003, 08:43 AM

quality, thanks Adverse :D

Adverse do you know if they are good in sound quality ??

too deep, too high etc....???

**Adverse** · 01-04-2003, 09:10 AM

i don't have a pair but my friend out in the us has just bought a pair and he's loving them for any purpose... he says speak truth into mixes. personally if i was looking at genelecs i'd take the extra cash and buy me a mackie 624 set. nothing but wonderful.

Yeah, we had some 824's and 1032A's doing a/b testing in the studio at the weekend and I can the Mackie 824's sounded quite lovely, remarkably similar to the Genelec's in fact which cost about twice as much.

Also proved that the problem in the other studio was the converters in a Yamaha digital desk and not the speakers after all. Avoid cheap digital desks!

PS. Anyone want a cheap digital desk?

**gmtraxx** · 03-04-2003, 10:22 AM

Adverse thanks and you to Basil Rush for the input, much appricated.

i'm gonna go checkout the makie 624's as soon as i get time off work hehe
