Please provide a list of them, along with pictures. That's all we ask. Thank

ONE studio that made 4 movies does not count.

Brian,
Abbey Road Studios (per their web site) uses B&W speakers in
Studio 1, Studio 3, their Penthouse Studio and their mobile recording
studios. The only studio they don't use B&W speakers in is Studio 2.
Your first reply to this thread said, "Funny, but none of
these speakers is used by professionals to mix and monitor the sound.
M&K's are used by many worldclass studios, however. An important
point." This was in reference to a list that included B&W speakers.
I don't understand the "Of course, Lynn." in:
"Of course, Lynn. M&K's are used in dozens of the high end studios,
specifically in smaller "home theatre" type mixing rooms. It's funny
how bent out of shape the SALESHACKS get when confronted with
professional use of a product they don't sell, as they realize this is
an important testimonial."

If you look at your browser, you will note an area known as a "scroll bar".
Utilizing this computer tool, you can actually MOVE the page up so that you
can see the extensive use of M&K speakers at Lucasfilm, the premier audio
mixing facility.
Note also that the "reviews" you object to are not M&K's reviews, but links
to reviews in Stereophile, Mix, and other audio publications.
Note also that Paradigm's are used in NO recording studios ANYWHERE on the

No, it is not a major studio - it is a black hole for money - it is a ripoff
certification program so George Lucas can fill up his already deep pockets,
and if you really were a pro, you'd know this! In fact, speaking of
ripoffs - its kinda like your studio, Brian. Besides, Lucas got the
speakers for free for promotional purposes. When I was out there they sure
were NOT using M&K speakers, Bozo! Try again!

No, dummy, because Genelec make versions of their powered speakers for home
theater use. If you really were a pro, you'd already know this! They have
been reviewed in several major publications like Stereophile - in fact J
Gordon Holt did the review. They have also been raved about in Home Theater
Magazine. Perhaps, if you took your head out of your arse, you'd know these
things ;-)
BTW, Brian, your links are all bogus - as is your complete being ;-)

Home theater is not the same thing as a recording studio, nimrod. They use
those big ass JBL speakers at concerts, but how many homes do you see with
them in it?
Besides, of all the recording studios I've been in, none of them use M&K. Of
all the professional mixers, engineers, and producers I know or have heard
of, none of them use M&K. Quit talking out of your ass, McCarty. Of course
if you have proof (which I've been asking about for 2 years) then let's see
it. But since you seem to clam up when asked for proof, I don't think we'll
be hearing from you again on this subject. Ta ta.

...as is their lack of making a listenable speaker. Ten minutes in a room
with M&K's and you have a headache and your ears are ringing. Very harsh,
cold, sterile sounding speakers.
However, there is a handful of recording studios that use M&K's. They figure
if they can make the music sound good on M&K then it will sound good on
anything.

Bright, harsh, tinny, inaccurate in both time and frequency domain, flat
two dimensional imaging, just simply not nice to listen to.
PSB and Paradigm both make dramatically better sounding speakers.

Not hardly! After spending the last 12 years or so becoming very familiar
with many high quality speakers, I find the M&K's very thin and cold
sounding. They do okay for movies where premium sound quality is not a
priority, but very poor for music. I suppose that (along with the fact that
M&K gave them a FAT check) is why Lucasfilm uses them at Skywalker. After
all, they are not mixing musical recordings so they don't need a high
quality monitor.

You guys have too much time on your hands.
I should let you know that:
I used to run ILM and Skywalker Sound (1985-1992)
I used to sell Hi End Audio (1975-1978)
I was a film sound mixer (1979-1982)
I mixed lots of bands on the road (Miles Davis 1969-1971)
and I now run Digital Domain, a digital effects studio in LA.
I have pretty good ears... and at present my speakers consist of 10 year old
M&K's (S-1B's; S-100, S-2B sub). They have been quite satisfactory for the
last ten years, but I was looking to update. As I can get most hi-end speakers
on accomodation (ie price is not an issue here), I was hoping for some real
advice in this newsgroup... but, gosh you guys act like adolescents.. please
just some recommends so that I can audition new speakers! Please!

Infinity pretty much fits in with the other mass produced, cookie cutter,
consumer oriented, megastore speakers like Polk, Cerwin Vega, or JBL. They
are not terrible, but you can do much better with the same or a little more
money with specialty speakers like Paradigm, PSB, or B&W. These companies
spend their money on R&D to make a better speaker instead of spending it on
marketing and magazine ads. You won't find any of the cost cutting shortcuts
in these speakers like you find in the other above mentioned companies.
Things like cheaper cabinets, cheaper crossovers, and drivers built by the
lowest bidder in Korea are non-existant in a specialty speaker company.
Chris Humphrey
several, and I liked these best FOR THE MONEY. Are they the best out there?
Nope. But for the money, I liked these the best of the ones I listened to.
Speakers are so subjective that we always have to endure this pissing contest.
Take them home, listen to them. Compare the differences with the prices and
make a decision. Reviews are good, but they are other folks. Obviously, you
will have a hard time getting intelligent dialog about them in this thread.

music CDs and a DVD or two which you are familiar and give them all a

Paradigm Studio/60, NHT, Phase Technology, and PSB.
I thought the Phase Technology were terrible. Klipsch is an acquired
taste. I really liked the Paradigm and M&K. I decided to buy the M&K
S-125 front, S-125C center, and MX-125 MarkII subwoofer. So far I have
really enjoyed the setup with both music and movies.
Don't rule out any speaker because of what someone else thinks - use
your own ears, after all it will be you listening to them at home.

K-5s in the rear and two Velodyne CT-120 subs and LOVE it!!!

Altec A7s, A7-500s, A5s or various JBL pro systems such as a 4560
basshorn combined with a 2420 or 2440 compression driver with a suitable
horn and lens. Many DIY combinations using Altec, JBL, TAD and Radian
components are available to the experimenter. Such rigs are
uncompromised in clarity and dynamics and have great realism. A side
benefit of such rigs is their high efficiency, generally around
105-110db with 1 watt, allowing the use of lower powered amplifiers,
these systems have crushing dynamics using only 5 watts or so. The setup
I use in my basement would do a 400 seat theater so it's really cruising
effortlessly down there, most of the time using about 1/50th of a watt
and giving effortless sound and Big Tone with no strain. Once used to
such a rig conventional hi-fi speakers sound dull, muddy, congested and
strained, to me anyway.

and 10' tall and sound like total shit in a home listening environment. If
you can only hear a range from 2000 hz to 6000 hz then I guess horns would
be nice, but most of us don't have that problem.

Ahhhh, but none of these compare to KLH .
KLH has been making speakers for years and they make really good ones for like
loud music and movies and shit.

I think they mostly make speakers for shit, and not much for cinema or
music - since the K in KLH (Henry Klipsch) left the company over 30 years
ago.

There is no such person as "Henry Klipsch". Perhaps you are thinking of
Henry Kloss, the guy that started the company?
Steve Zipser
See my follow-up post where I already acknowleged that fact, but thanks
anyway

If they made them with 20" woofers would they be even better? Come on, you
know better than that. If you want to claim that in your opinion they are
good for the price, fine. Don't try to claim they are "BEST", as in the
subject line on this thread.
