Speakers are a controversial topic. Seems like everyone's got a different opinion about what speakers to use and which speakers actually work well. There are some fundamentals to consider, and once you do, the choices are more clear. Anyone have comments?

I don't really see what you mean grandhighgamer...
To use headphones for editing, mixing and producing?

Thats totally wrong for any kind of production. With headphones you don't even get a normal stereophonic image. Not to mention that you usually can't monitor properly and that they cause fatigue and damage to your ears...

Totally subjective question here. Everyone's ears and rooms are different. Pick one great pair after trying them out FIRST in a neutral environment. Then add one or two more pairs to give you a difference of opinion on the mix. I still have a pair of 6X9 2-way car speakers i use to A/B some music mixes... Right now I' using 4 pairs of stereo and one 5.1 system from Alesis that I really like for spotting cues. The "big monitors" I use are old favorites of mine; JBL (1967) Model 100 S, then near fields; Yamaha NS10M, Tannoy Gold series, Genelec Active. They all sound great and ecah are different with each mix. I try to find the best between them all on the 2-mix output.

Yes, +1 for Adams. I use the midfield S 2.5A in my studio and they sound extremely "honest" and it's great fun to work with those speakers.

You are really a gentleman!

I try the Beyerdynamic Headphones .. DT 531 i like them more than the AKG they give me more details :) but for recording its useful to mix with speakers.
I´ve tested the big Fames... and i wondered they are very good pan and linear .
