event 20/20bas with T.C. m-one OR genelec 1030a?????

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi Guys,

i am working on a limited budget for a home studio set up. picking
monitors is definately the hardest part. so many different opinions.
with the end of my budget i can afford to buy event 20/20bas with the
TC electronics m-one (i could do with another fx unit to go with the
m-3000) or spend it all on a pair of genelec 1030a.
My concerns with the 20/20's are some reliability issues i have read
about here, but €1,350 is also a lot of cash for the genelec.
i am curious to what option people would go for.
thanks as always,
Hugh.

hey scott,

where i am i can get ADAM P11a monitors for the same price as the
genelecs. have you heard this particular model and would you rate it
with the genes?
cheers,
hugh.

Hey Scott,

unfortunately where i live i can't get demos on anything so i will be
going on recommendations of the good people of this group. the only
other genelec in that price range is the 8030a which looks like a much
smaller speaker (5" cone) and i don't see any reviews for that
particular model. i do appreciate the advice of spending as much as i
can on monitors now, the rest will come later.
cheers,
Hugh.

Three little words: Take a trip.

This may make your acquisition cost a little higher than someone who
lives in a big city or someone who ignores hands/eyes/ears-on
demonstrations, but the cost of buying the wrong thing based on Usenet
advice or magazine reviews is greater.
