I have never owned good studio monitors. I always used headphones or cheaper computer speakers, knowing that the computer speakers were not going to give me an accurate representation of what I'm really hearing.
About two weeks ago I picked up some KRK G5 speakers and got a really good deal on them used. Right away, I was enjoying hearing all of the benefits of my Axe-Fx II with delays, reverb, etc. and had a great tone, great low end, etc.
The problem is that there are several times when I hit certain chords, I get this frequency that comes out so strong that I can feel it in my ears, throat, chest, etc. It is primarily when playing heavier stuff like thru a Friedman or Splawn, etc. amp emulation. It is like when you are at a concert and the P.A. is not adjusted yet, and the bass player hits this note with low end that makes you want to plug your ears.
I almost got a pair of JBLs or M-Audio but got these on a deal so went with them. They sound great but like I said, that frequency every once in awhile is making me think I need to do a bit more research.
Is this something that happens with all monitors within reason or are the KRK monitors known for this type of thing? I should mention that I do want to stay in the $300-$400 range for a pair. I know there are tons of options out there but I'm fine with whatever sounds good. Thanks!
