--> i just ran a sine weep through my monitors (fostex pm1's) and this is what it sounded like..

BOOOOOoooooOOOOoooOOOOoooOOOoooOOOO

i ran it through my heaphones (akg 240) and this is what it sounded like

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

also i listened to a mix i did on these speakers on my buddy's event something another super nice monitors. and i was like.. jesus farts! it was like a whole different mix, i heard all the crap my monitors were concealing.

so yea.. i don't think it's really the monitors fault as much as the fact that there's crap all over my studio in weird places, and it's a rather tiny room.

i kind of feel like it's a waste having these monitors.. i don't know if maybe i should get a pair that's designed for smaller rooms, with a 5 inch woofer instead of 6 1/2.. or just mix on my headphones (which is not really preferable)... or stop being a weiner and move on with my life.

advice?

yea they's good. very flat.. i still find it hard to mix on headphones. you can thank utofbu for recommending them to me.

and also sprouts.. how correct you are.. I mean.. if i just used the ms20 more, my mixes would be impervious to the effects of bad monitors.

Fuzzmeasure if you're on mac. It's handy to 'see' parts of your rooms response that your ears might have missed.

Super easy to use and the demo version is already very useful.
