Sound Systems

Post by GDOGG » Mon Nov 15, 2010 3:46 am

Looking at kitting myself out with some quality speakers to get a decent sound going. Anyone got any suggestions, really don't know what i should be looking to get. Been searching various setups and it seems you can get very complicated. Just out of interest why would you need all this gear - focus rite saffire soundcard, m-patch 2 volume controller and 4 KRK Speakers, 2 rokit 8's and 2 VXT 8's not saying im going anywhere near something as fancy but whats the deal with that amount of gear?

currently confused

cheers

the size of the room that the monitors will be in is an important consideration.

i was gonna get some KRK Rokit8's but they are too powerful for my average size room (approx. 3m x 4m). I opted for the KRK Rokit6's, and also got the KRK subwoofer. The subwoofer makes my whole flat sound like a nightclub, which is great advantage when making dance music... (it's lucky my neighbour is deaf!).
