Speakers…

Hey guys, so 4 months ago I purchased my speakers. J&H professioneel licht en geluid Anyway the sound isn’t nice, and lacks alot of bass.

I’m wondering what would be the best route of action. Would it sound good if I added a sub (budget is 400…) or would it be best if I sold these, and got something else like KRK’s?

It doesn’t have to go reaaally loud or something, the quality has to be good. I spin alot of techno, and bass driven music, so any input would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Do they at least sound good if you turn the bass down? If so, a sub would compliment them nicely.

Well yeah it does sound crisp… Anything non edm like rock or blues sounds great on them though…

Add a subwoofer. If you want a decent one, you’ll need more than a budget of 400 though.

Check out Bill’s designs if you haven’t before. If you have a little bit of woodworking skills, you can build yourself some nice horn loaded subs for not alot of money.

Are you using them at home?

PA speakers generally suck at low volumes.

I have 2 left hands so I’m not even gonna try that haha :stuck_out_tongue: Anyway what’s the price im looking at for a decent sub?
edit: Yes at home, that’s why im thinking of selling em as its a little bit overkill

I’d say invest in a decent amp and hi fi speakers OR some powered studio moinitors and a sub…(eg. Truths, KRK, JBL etc.)

You’ll never get the best out of speakers like that in your house, adding a sub will just make it even more overkill.

What kind of sub am i looking at to go alongside those studio monitors?

Well all of the three I’ve listed have a sub that goes with them..

The KRKs - http://www.krksys.com/krk-subwoofers/12sho.html
JBL (my personal preference) - http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/general/Product.aspx?PId=282&MId=5

etc etc etc..

I was looking at something like the krk rp6 g2
edit: ah I see, damn that is pretty expensive… I might just buy the monitors and hang on my cash for a while…

Well then the KRK sub.

How about these? :smiley:

They do the trick for me.

Ok so I’ve almost decided, I think it’s going to be 2 krk g2 rp8’s, and I hope they provide a decent ammount of bass for the time being. The sub will have to wait for now…
