Ya Silvercord...the 271's rock. I love the fact that they are closed back, and they block out enough sound that I can hear what the mic is picking up. Plus every acoustic track no longer has the ghost "click click click" imbedded in the file.By request, I've replicated Ibanez's "Speilberg" home movie post. Here's "The Pond", featuring the home-made-not-quite-junk speakers in all their plywood and outdoor carpeting glory. I take it the rules for this creation include music must be recorded there to provide background?http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... 720CBWatch for the lavalamp at the ending!P.S. I compressed the video file for sending...and the music ended up getting kinda "jangly"...oh man, I have so much to learn!

IMHO Nothing beats Genelecs! They are expensive, but worth every penny. The ones I have were about $2000 including subwoofer. But, I think you can get them starting at about $1500. I have worked on dozens of nearfield and big soffetted studio monitors over the years and would take them over everything I have ever heard. I just came back from NAB in Vegas and I don't remember seeing any other speaker being used for demos. There probably were some others but not many.Wodinlord
