KRK Rokit 6 Vs. Yamaha NS7 for cheap monitors?
« on: May 17, 2016, 05:29:21 pm »
I'm currently using a pair of sennheiser hd280s for mixjng and am looking to upgrade to some lower budget monitors. I've done research on both monitors and feel as though some other opinions would be good in making a decision. Thanks in advance!

i'll advise to get at least an 8 inch cone.

The extra money saved will be worth it in the end.

I'll also advise to stay away from krk. They are basically glorified consumer speakers, marketed towards the transition of people who want to maybe kinda get into audio production?

If you're serious about it, i'd suggest you go 8 inch and avoid KRK. You'll eventually out grow the size and that particular brand (maybe), but at least you know you can obtain speakers that will last you a life time.

honestly this is one area you don't want to skimp. don't just buy 'budget' speakers and then want new and better ones in 6 months. It is what I did. I really wanted the Adam speakers but then just went with HS8 instead (still a respectable speaker for a bedroom studio) but I was kicking myself because I always wanted the Adams.

Seriously just go without speakers for longer and get a good quality pair - you will have them for years and years anyway. Just don't go out or spend money on shit for a few weeks and put that money aside for better speakers.

my recommendation from all the ones I listened to in the shop were definitely the Adams.

I also have KRK rokit 8s and they are good but like any speaker you have to learn how to mix on them specifically - they can be a little boomy down the bottom end I think.

i'd give you +1 for the advice, but i already gave you +1 on another post...
