In Reply to: Switch to Studio monitors? posted by audiogremlin on April 3, 2014 at 12:08:39:
Given that you already use ProAcs I think you might be pleasantly surprised by active studio monitors. ProAcs are one of the very few passive speakers which still find themselves in studios fairly regularly.
On the whole Genelecs tend to be slightly forward in their presentation, user comments range from 'highly analytical' to 'trebly & harsh'. May be look for something with a silk dome if that might bother you. There is a huge choice of monitors available, see the link for a small snapshot.
For your particular situation I would recommend checking out ME Geithain.
They do monitors with a cardioid response in the bass which gives a lot more freedom when it comes to positioning and less likely to excite room nodes. Sound quality wise they are easily on par with ATC who are pretty much the benchmark for all others. The problem is that they are very difficult to get hold of stateside.
