Tannoy Reveal Studio Monitors...what do you think?

I can get a good deal On Tannoy Reveal (passive) Monitors. From whatever I read on the web, it seems to me like they really are a very good pair of monitors.

Here is the link with more info about them:

So....What do you think?

I have the actives and get good sounding mixes that translate well to lessor systems. Only gripe is I need a good sub to hear the lows better. But that is not what you need a lot of in your near fields anyway.

I bought them yesterday . Amazing sound. I love them. As you say RON, lows are their only weakness, but it’s a very small weakness. I was comparing them to the NS-10 in a store, and I find that the Reveal have more lows then the NS-10.

Anyways, for me, those were well spend 200$

Congrats. You will find that you can hear some much more details in your mix than the NS10's. I have used the NS10's for most of my career and since I have the Active reveals I do not miss them. You have the passive's so what amp are you using?

Samson Servo 170 http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=83&brandID=2

IMO, servo 170 is a good amp, but i'm still doing research on what would be the best amp to power those babies.

About the NS10. I always thought that the NS10 were "the thing to buy", because everyone was talking about them as being the industry standard and all that ish. But the first time I heard Reveal, man, I started to thing that people who use NS10 never had a chance to hear Reveals playing

Thanks for your replies Ron.

The NS10's were praised becuase they didn't overcompensate on the Hi or lows. Those who used them in pro studios have years under thier belt to get use to them. They know when and what frequencies are not going to translate well on cheaper and better systems. Now that you have the tannoy's employe the same principal. Get use to them try all you favorite CD's on them turn off all the lights close your eyes and just listen & study all the sounds you hear in the mix. Then listen to your songs. Compare back and fourth for a week just say forget the time you got plenty. You will start to pick up many areas you can enhance in your mix. If you are looking for a good amp I like Hafler. 200watts is more than enough. Just don't blast them. You want to keep your ears in tip top condition if you are going to mixdown full time.

It's true I have to get use to these monitors. And the only way to do that is to give them time and a lot of lissening hours. I started to familiarize myself with them, by lissening to tracks that I know very well, and tracks that I have made. The notice of difference was almost instantaneous. I was surprised haw much more I could hear. But I still thing that there are areas that my ears are not familiarized with. I just hope that with time, I'll be able to pick up everything that those monitors are giving me.

Now, about Hafler amps. I found 2 that I really like: the P1500 or P3000. The only problem is that I wasn't able to find any distributors where I live, and did not find any prices. I'll try do find some used ones if I can.

If it comes to blasting the speakers, I newer do that. Not because I could ruin my hearing, but because I find that when it is too loud, I'm loosing my reference points. I find it very hard to balance levels when playing full volume.

Thanks again for all the good advices.
