SergeModular

Attachments :

I'm sending the Serge through an RME Fireface 800 to a pair of biamplified Event Project Studio 6's (PS 6). They are pretty decent in their price range and I know them well. I've had them for about 7 years. When it's time to replace them (how long does it take for monitors to 'break down'?) I'm pretty sure I'll get a pair of Adams. I'm sold on the ribbon tweeter technology, that is, if it's anything like the air-motion transformer. See, I also run my Serge through a Marantz 4200 and my dad's woofer-upgraded pair of ESS AMT-1b's.

It's a different, but very pleasing experience all around.
I use Beyer Dynamic DT-880's (revision b; also a c is available) and the Serge sounds fantastic through them. Definitely a step up from my Beyer Dynamic DT-831's of many years.
Hope this helps!
Matt
