Subject: Re: [Ardour-users] Another OT Hardware Question From: Jan Depner <eviltwin69@cableone.net> Message-Id: <1074034006.13252.5.camel@eviltwin> Date: 13 Jan 2004 16:46:46 -0600 I went with the M-Audio BX5 monitors and a Behringer HA4600 headphone amp. I went with the BX5's because of limited space. I'm very happy with them. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the low end rolls off somewhere between 50Hz and 80Hz. They say 56Hz and that's probably about right. I'm overjoyed with the HA4600. For $100US it's an amazing piece of gear. You get 4 separate headphone channels with aux ins, two band EQ, mono/stereo, left/right mute, gain, aux/main signal mixing, and three outs per channel.
