Default Re: do i need monitors?

Lots of questions,many opinions.It's extremely hard to be objective when
playing back mixes,reference speakers & monitors make it easier to make
decisions.If you can get a final mix that sounds good on auto audio,you've hit
paydirt.Behringer Monitors are excellent for your stereo & recording,I just got
a pair of 60W studio monitors delivered yesterday to replace a pair of 30's I
sent back to the distributor.To My ears they sounded like distorted catfighting,
but of course Behringer engineers found 'nothing wrong with them',& actually
suggested it was my setup getting earthing problems.Dunderheads-I have ground-lift on my amps (Behringer,as are my picks)& had diagnosed it already
as a damaged woofer cone.I was right it transpired & they had the decency to
upgrade me @ no cost,free courier & all.Phones were previously my thing,but
I've blown out so many(a whole boxful)-they are accurate tho but uncomfortabl
& restrictive.I listen to a lot of studio takes & Zep&the Stones rough cuts like
'Jamming with Edward' to establish a reference point.All monitors are powered
so I can just put a V-Amp direct thru & still get volume.
