studio monitors

[potato1515]

I'm currently looking for studio monitors. Do you guys have any idea where I can try out some speakers?
I tried tomlee and they had great speakers but I wanted to try
EVENT ASP6 or 8 which they didn't have.

If there is somebody using these speakers, can you give me some idea about them?

Thank you

i have the ASP8s. really great speaks tight accurate punchy in your chest low end expansive soaring highs really wide stereo field luv m to death. would buy m all over again if they went bust.

Thanks royal_phunk, let me ask one more quetion, my room is 10x12 with poor acostic treatment, Do you think asp8 is too big?

[Royal_Phunk]

without good acoustic treatment ... yes. these speaks are meant for a good size room. the stereo field is immense and the drivers are very powerfull lots of sound will hit the wall and bounce back screwing up your mix if not properly dampened.

thanks a lot:) I might go with asp6 then.
I really wish that I could AB test event and mackie but looks like it's impossible here in Van so give a try on event.
cheers
