hahahah! The comments did not let me down in the least, well played everyone. It’s interesting to see peoples responses, and even jokingly may be based on half truths of some of y’all’s experiences haha!
But no, financially it’s not a big deal, however it is interesting to see my wife’s reactions when I do things like this. Honestly, I’ve got it real good, she never complains or asks questions or demands I do this or that etc. in fact never once has me spending money on anything pro audio or guitar related ever come up or even been an issue in the least. Of course if it could effect us significantly financially, well that’s a different story for sure. I am quite lucky for sure.
But yes, I bought a pair of genelec 8351’s after having wanted them for quite some time. Sweetwater does 48 months a couple times a year so I said screw it, why not. I could pay for it all at once but hey, I’ll take free money anytime anywhere! They are absolutely stunning monitors and I got chills after I heard them the first time with a sub in a killer studio, mindblowing experience. I also realize most modern bedroom/project studios have one thing in common: a terrible start to try and make something into an awesome environment for audio, and a situation that can only get better up to a point, no matter how much money you throw at it. So that’s where genelecs GLM system comes in. It’s a DSP based room correction software. Others like room eq wizard are not in the same league as a system like this. So my thought process was to get the best monitoring situation that I can, and calibrate my speakers to the room and fix the issues as best I possibly can, Atleast the stuff that can be treated. You can’t fix nulls etc, it’s physics, it is what it is. But there are ways to work around them, and this is a good start.
They will be here Wednesday, hopefully when my other half isn’t there
