a little help please. full range studio monitors for home hi fi system

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

i recently heard a pair of inexpensive genelec powered speakers at a friends house. i was pretty blown away. while i wasnt able to listen critically, the speakers sounded tremendous. i couldnt believe the clarity, power and control. i'm not a pro audio guy but i was thinking about looking into going fr standard full range towers to a set of full range pro monitors. a few questions please. i see that there are pro monitors that go down fairly deep in the bass. do you have to use these nearfield? i'm about 9 to 10 ft fr where these speakers would have to be placed. also, any thoughts on using a pro monitor with a home hi fi set up? what are the pros and cons of this? i would hope to run the monitors full range in the bass and have a powered sub pick up the very bottom of the low end. thanks in advance. this is all new to me so any and all help would be appreciated.

if you won't be listening in the nearfield, just don't buy nearfield monitors - Roscoe East 08:49:02 01/14/05 (0)
