Event TR5 monitors arrived!!!

[Davey]

it's tuff bein a box. but i'm livin it up, livin it up!!!   BOX!!!!!!


unpacking. quite heavy for such small speakers. ~11 pounds each


Box #2


and out they are!


at this point i figured i dont have enough plugs, co you have to power each of them, so i had to do a bit of runnin around and finding a 2->1 adapter.. then i had to find the audio cables for each. good thing i had some spare. i need to get some 1/4" -> XLR ones, when i re-do the whole wireing.. as you will see it is more than just a mess and i gotta move em a bit.. but that's for later.





now:

the sound is BEYOND awesome!!!!


and the **** is LOUD as ****!!!!  if i put it up 100% i dont need a fan here. my guitar amp has a hard time keeping up with them :headbang:

the low end is great and enough for my current needs, it's clear and i can hear the diference between a bad rip and a good rip. finaly QUALITY sound!!

thanks to jeff D and TO for turning me to Event monitors, i'm happy as a pig in ****.

and also, HUGE props to Thomann.de, i paid 355 euro + 25 euro shipping, shipped on tuesday, delivered today. and it wasnt even express! 4 days from ordering to having them from germany RULES!! GOOO DHL!!

now mp3's are pissing me off, cos it's all a VERY cr@ppy quality.. i need to rip my albums again

Ive been interested in getting some decent speakers for using with my laptop (as and when I have the money).. how exactly do you hook it all up to work with em? Is it just the headphone out into a mixer or something?

[Davey]

exactly.

headphone out into the 2T input of the mixer (input used for cd players, drum machines and such stuff) and then i got the speakers hooked up to the output

[_tom_]

aha.. I expect all this high quality stuff comes at a high price though :( Currently using Creative speakers for £40 off ebay :lol:

355 euro from thomann.de


the diference is beyond words.. anything that is ripped below 256kbit sucks so much i cant describe it.
