Ever heard the colouration on a pair of Beyer DT100's?...


It's difficult to explain why you might want to use something apparently
not of the finest possible quality for monitoring use, but despite trying
most, I still like the DT 100s.

LS 3/5a is a prime example. It may have a restricted and slightly tubby
bass, but anything that sounds fine on those is likely to be very
acceptable on anything else. Balancing on speakers with a 'larger than
life' sound is likely to result in poor overall results for everyone else.

However, I never use cans for pleasure purposes. Hate the bl***y things.
