Bummer! That's unusual for a pair of good speakers to be that far off. Maybe one got damaged during the build? But here's a positive thought: This might be a really good excuse to upgrade to some even better speakers, that would do your awesome room justice! A fantastic room like that should have fantastic speakers in it... Maybe your pen and your chequebook are due for some time together.... :) - Stuart -

Yeah, could be, but i'd like to think I was pretty careful :) I'll get them looked at by a technician when I can have them out of the studio for an extended period of time.

well, funny you should say that Stuart.....because I was thinking exactly the same thing 8) Possibly Neumann 310 KH's if the cheque book can handle it :shock:
Neumann 310 KH
Oh Yeah! Now we talkin'! K&H stuff is really good. I spec'd those for a studio in the Netherlands a while back (still under construction), and the owner loved them when he tried them out. Difficult to go wrong with K&H (even if it is called "Neumann" these days"...). I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed with a pair of K&H's up front. - Stuart -

Great to hear you have a good opinion on them Stuart, and have 1st hand experience with a client as well :D They were recommended to me by my mastering engineer as great units for the kind of budget I have. He himself usees B&W 800 series diamond's so I respect his opinion on monitoring, and he has nothing but good things to say about the 310's, so now all I have to do is come up with the $'s....how hard could it be :shock:
What the heck! Is this really where this thread ends?!? LOL I guess its safe to assume everything turned out nice! Show us an updated pic! Cheers
