I'm going for the PM0.4 as well once we move..
oh wait, we only just moved!1!@3!!#
KRK RP5`s or Mackies MR5? for home DJìng and listening music, hiphop, reggae and dancehall.
Of course there are perfect acoustics. Why do people pay thousands of dollars to studio designers then? Why do big studios build the rooms so they do not have parallels walls? Because they want to achieve an acoustic space where the sound is uncolored by the room. That is perfection.
Using equipment like graphic equalizers to correct room deficiencies is really a bad idea. Why? Because even the most perfect graphic eq trashes the signal into X pieces depending on the number of bands, and then join those pieces. If you don't believe me just look for electronic diagrams of equlizers. In sound reinforcement (concerts, events, etc) you do that because you can't change the place. There is no other option. But you have to agree with me: sound in concerts is nothing compared to the quality you can achieve in a good studio.
Yes, I have a few of Bob Katz books btw. I didn't imply I didn't know how to set up a sub, only that installing a sub is not plug and play.

And anyone who works in that field will tell you that even when custom built, there is no such thing as perfection. There are ALWAYS issues that keep you from achieving the ideal. Is the room perfect when it's empty? What about when furniture and equipment are added. Or when monitoring changes? Or when the manager of a facility decides the place needs a make-over and hires interior designers (who know nothing about audio) to "spruce the place up".Of course there are perfect acoustics. Why do people pay thousands of dollars to studio designers then? Why do big studios build the rooms so they do not have parallels walls? Because they want to achieve an acoustic space where the sound is uncolored by the room. That is perfection.
ALL of this happens in a real facility.
Also, how dead do you make a room? Do you make it so it feels like you're wearing earmuffs when you walk in? Is that perfection? Or do you try and design good sounding spaces? You put 10 real experienced audio engineers together in a room and they'll ALL have different ideas about what "perfection" is. There is no such thing as "perfect acoustics".
Using equipment like graphic equalizers to correct room deficiencies is really a bad idea.I never said (a) that using EQs to fix room acoustics is a good idea, or (b) that setting up ANY monitoring is plug and play. So what are you talking about?I didn't imply I didn't know how to set up a sub, only that installing a sub is not plug and play.
