Hi all! I haven't recorded anything in about 3 years, new job and
family life has taken its toll on my music making experiences.

Anyways, with my new job we do some web broadcasting production. They
had recently reconfigured the production room and took all of the old
equipment and put it in a closet about 2 or 3 years back. To my
surprise I found 2 Genelec 1029A monitors sitting unused and unwanted.
No one even knew if they worked. I brought them home hooked them up to
the old Mona unit and both appear to be working fine. There is also a
harmon kardon sub that I plan to bring home next week to see if it
works. They are now mine. I had previously (about 3 years ago) used
some Alesis MKII non-powered monitors.

If you had to pick between the genelecs and some other monitors in the
same price range what would you pick? I suppose I could sell these on
ebay along with the Alesis and upgrade to something of a little better
quality. I haven't recorded in so long that I'm going to have to
readjust and get used to whatever monitors I start off with again.

Any help from those who have experienced the Genelec 1029A and other
monitors within the same price range will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

John

The Genelecs are already way up there on the quality scale. Keep 'em,
they're great speakers and very accurate. Way better than anything Alesis
makes.

Thanks Ted! I appreciate your advise!

I've been spinning just regular Cds over the weekend and I'm amazed at
all of the background noise I can hear in several professional mixes.
Stuff I've never heard before for sure.

Look in that closet again. If you find anything with the following numbers
on them, email me immediately:

1176
LA2A
C414
U87 (especially if there's a pair)

They might be worth some cash. Hundreds, even.

I'll even pay shipping. <g>
