I should probably add those to mine. I will very likely get a pair within the next two years, after the new PC and room treatment.

How good actually are those things?

Ive them. For the price they are quite good, they made a huge improvement in my workflow. I had demoed them against the tiniest genelecs (can't remember the name). The main difference was they have less bass, and I thought they were more flat. For the price I think it's a good option if not the best in that range, just don't expect the same thing as 1030s. It has a good reputation in low budget monitoring, it's a serious product and seems to be solid.

 

[Jaymz]

1030's must have way less bass with it having a 5" sub compared to the Yammys 8". Regardless im not sure anybody would expect the same, the Gens are double the price of the Yammys!

No money = no GAS.

Ermz seems to like the HS80M for the price point also, and we know how fussy he is about monitors. The do seem to get pretty great reviews all round though. I may have a listen to them tomorrow actually, just incase my GAS isn't strong enough at the moment

Yeah ive had a quick search about and the reviews are outstanding. Not very expensive either! Hence why I was curious about their quality

you can always GAS, but getting the G is another thing.

 

[plague_rider]

Man after Xmas dinner yesterday i've got such bad gas... oh right... OT....

 

[Soundlurker]

I don't think it's GAS when you know there's no chance of you buying the thing ... I'd call it daydreaming.

Anyway, I wish all of your GAS to come true

 

[updog]

still gasing for the epiphone futura... I'm hoping to buy it in a month. I tried some more expensive guitars, and while they were better, I think the value for price in that guitar is phenomenal.

I just checked the price for those out of curiosity and they are like 200 and something euro in some German store and then I checked them in Argentina's Ebay (where people also sell NEW items) and they where like 1400usd. This country blows.

 

[GeertSamuel]

More outboard.

Losing my GSSL showed me how much I truly hate ITB processing. I can't wait for the GSSL and the 1176s to get over here, so we can move on and focus on some LA-2A and Pultec builds.

THe GSSL is the SSL4000 clone...right?
I haven't found place to order it yet, only to completelly DIY...
You've found any place where that one is available?

 

[zakky]

let me see hmmmm........engl savage and sm7 mic

 

[Mikaël-ange]

GSSL= SSL 4K masterbus compressor
You can buy original SSL or DIY

I've tested it against several genelecs, and I can say the gen were always having more sub. It's not only a matter of size of the speakers, but its construction too. Anyways, having more or less bass is not the point.

Anybody in this range of price can run buy it, they are really decent for the bucks, I'm plain satisfied with it compared to several different low budget "true" monitors I have listened.

x3

and I kind of want this, but I want to mix on one first to see if I like it... for live use not studio. 16 channel digital mixer with recall, built in comps/gates/limter for each channel and built in FX... and they're expandable so I could buy another later and have 32 channels

 

[plague_rider]

should we not edit out posts with "realistic gas" and "unrealistic gas"??

for a retail unit theres this:

http://chameleonlabs.com/product5.html#

Chameleon Labs 7720 Stereo Compressor, which is similar and uses the same "THAT corp" chips as the SSL

Or the SSL rack or module version for silly money,

Im going to build a GSSL though, once i get round to it i might offer to build some for anyone that just wants to buy and use one rather than the DIY thing,
(depending on how mine turns out).
