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

Rich, im using truths here in my studio. Had em for 2 years, they work good,
good dB for the $. They do have kind of a strange thing goin on in the mids
but its manageable once you get to know them. The signal filtering
capability in the back is kinda cool. I'm due for a change soon thow, so far
its the HR 824s or the Dyna's for me.

Thank you - you have a nice studio too!
My take also was the Mackie and the Dyna's were better but the Truths seemed
hard to beat for the $$. Do they accent the mids? Are you using a sub with
them and how do you find the bass responce (that always seems to be my problem
area)... Thanks again for your help!

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
> them

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
