i have mackie 824's. they're doing me in cos they sound too good. i need to buy something like the avantone mixcubes but i want something powered so i don't also have to buy an amp. ideally around $200 or less. any suggestions?

thanks,

corey

I can swap my old Mission speakers for your Mackie's. It's no bother, no need to thank me.

ha, sure. meet me behind the 7-11 at 2am tomorrow...

im looking to *add* a pair, not swap em out. nice of you to offer tho. srsly.

I can't think of any powered alternatives to those cubes or the Yammy Yamaha NS10s.

I'd go and ask over at Gearslutz...

/edit, actually, they're bringing out some powered cubes soon:



I'd buy these as the B pair to my A Dynaudios in a heartbeat if they sound as shite as the originals.

HS50Ms innit. They sound quite nice though, not really like NS10s.

I love my NS10's

I literally would sex it , if it didnt involve fucking up the box.

ooh, powered. wicked. emailing them for dates.

yeah, Vonboyage, et al. im looking for monitors that sound real but generally not real good. reference monitors rather than mixing monitors. yr ns10's - are they good as a reference?

thx.

Industry standard man, if it sounds good on the NS10's then it will sound good anywhere. Exactly what you're looking for, but not powered I think

cool, thx. tho still twice the price i want.

sorry to jump in on this but...

whats the deal with the yamaha HS50M.

why are they so cheap?

They are made in China.

say no more!!!!

They're good though. I can recommend. If you need more bass go for the HS80Ms. They actually sound nice, not the brittle cardboard vibe of NS10s.

from avantelectronics:
They are shipping in apx 2 weeks to us (ocean journey)
upon arrival & customs clearance we will then proceed to get them out to all our dealers & international distributors... so January is when you can actually order a pair from a dealer.They will sound the same as the passives.

(no word on price)

perfect description.

why not just buy a stereo? or a boombox?

good question. thinking about an ipod docking station or something. i guess because it will color the sound in a specific way, rather than sounds bad in a good way. certain systems are known to sound bad in a reliable and across-the-board way, as i understand it.
