yea I know the "B" company again...
I use NS10's with a JBL sub and Alesis power amp now. I'm looking for powered
monitors that are easier to move between systems as I work on a friends system
also.
I have listened to the Mackies - Dyna 5's, truths (8") and event 20/20's...
The Dyna's were the best (my take) but were like $900 vs 300 for the Truths.
I have not heard the Yorkvilles mentioned in a post as I could not find
a local dealer here but was hoping that someone used the Truths and could
let me know what they thought. This is for a project studio (3 card Paris
mostly pop/rock) so money is as always a major factor...
Thanks in advance this place is awwwsome

Thanks man, I am quite proud of the way it turned out, a few regrets but
overall very pleased.

No, I find they lack in the mids actually, therefore its very easy to
over-accent the mids if not careful.
Are you using a sub with

Yea, I have a 300W single 12" sub enclosure crossed over at around 60Hz but
the Thruths do have lots of bottom balls.
and how do you find the bass response (that always seems to be my problem
