Event 20/20 Monitors

[J-Mac]

Does anyone here use or have experience with Event 20/20 V2 monitors? I am looking for another set of speakers preferably with 8" woofers to round out my NS-10Ms. What would be a good price for a set of these I am having some trouble finding info on these. I have searched google for info but I trust the opinions here over other message boards.

I am open to other suggestions as well. Just picked up an excellent class-a amp so I would prefer them to be passive, but I will consider active monitors as well. I'm not looking to blow the bank on them as they will be secondary speakers in the setup. Any info/suggestions would be great.

Cheers,

J

They're crap, if I remember the model number correctly. If I'm not mistaken it's exactly these monitors I've had the questionable pleasure of working on for quite a many times, and they really don't sound really good. Undefined is the first word that comes to mind.

I nearly brought a pair, they suck!

Did some work in a studio that had them as their main monitors, powered by a vintage Perreaux amp. I was constantly amazed at how poorly anything mixed there translated to other environments. Engineers would often bring their own monitors to this studio for that reason.

Kinda like how 5 years ago, everybody, magazines, and their grandma said the Event 20/20's and Mackie HR824's were the shit, and now everybody is saying they're shit

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback, I will avoid these like the plague. Any suggestions on a moderately priced 8" woofer monitor?
