Hello ,
I admit Im a newbie when It comes to amping monitors and mains .. Ive always run powered nearfields and simple amplification of NS 10s ... Ive recently scored a pair of 4430 monitors and will be installing them into my recording studio. I need an amp to power them ??? cant figure out which direction to go?? I produce soul influenced hip hop and want them to " knock " !! My room is 14 x 13 x 11ft high , with another 4 x 8 vocal room ... I also have ns 10s adam a7 for my monitoring but these were purchased to hopefully piss off some studio tenants
Would any of you guys who have experience with these in a recording setting have any suggestions ?? Things to consider ........ I need the amp to be fairly quiet , about 600 $ cap on cost ... give or take a few hundred if it really makes that big of a difference ..... I dont care if its a tube or SS just as long as it doesnt color the sound to much ... I would prefer an amp that complement the speakers to have them be as clean as possible.... punchy , deep , clean bass rather than muddy ...
I hope this is enough info for anyone to help out. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated !!
cheers
Oh , another thing.... I hear people talking about Bi amping and using an external crossover . Could someone shed some light on how expensive, difference in sound, and what brands to consider if I decide to go that route ...thanks
