Re: speaker & studio design...

Lol! Speaker design is something that demands precision and knowledge. Sounds like you have both! I'd love to see pictures of this box :P I need to get a decent monitor system for my production studio. Right now I'm using a couple of small MA-8 satelite speakers (roland) with the bass rolled off and a Samson sub in my turntable studio. But I think it lacks mid-low - For my main studio I would like to get as accurate as possible. . . I've really been eyeing up the Mackie 824's, but I won't have the dough for a while. Any ideas? ----- Original Message -----
