Best Monitors For A Powerbook Set Up, What kind of speakers are you using? Options

[TKNO1]

Want to know what other people are using for speakers with their Powerbook. Now I am meaning quality monitors. Not "Soundsticks " or anything in that range. Please let me know.. thanks

Botaferro I'd have to disagree with you! That sounds like having someone cover your eyes while you're driving, and then having them tell you when to brake and which way to turn. Even if you're good at it, you're bound to run into a guardrail or two! There will probably be frequencies in there that will be completely buried or nonexistant in other speakers. Since every system is different, your mix is bound to sound way off on some sets. (hence the point of monitors - you hear exactly what you mix) But if it works for you, more power to you!

So, could you tell me why in "Abbey Road Studios" they use B&W's Nautilus? Or are they wrong too? It seems to me that one of the world's top studios should know what to use...
I advise you to see some articles on the net about mixing with the B&W. I think you will be surprised about what you will read. And if i am an amateur, i want them to listen to my music too (i think that listening to Bethoven in monitors wouldn't be very nice). For the money i get some good "monitors" (not perfect) and two great loudspeakers. If you wan't to spend more money because someone told you that if you don't have monitors you can't mix, go ahead, but at least let the people know the different oppinions, test them and then decide.
In the past (when i was a pro in radiostations - i don't know what'ts the technical name in english for the job - making spots and jingles) i used many monitors. After i tested the B&Ws i want no more monitors.
Respect my choice, and i'll respect yours.
