623.0. "Yamaha KS10 Speakers" by STAR::MALIK (Karl Malik) Wed Dec 24 1986 11:09

    
    	Anyone heard Yamaha's (real small) KS-10 speakers?
    
    	I haven't.  But am still looking for ways to shrink my
    'studio' to tabletop proportions.  Are these worth hearing?

    I've never heard of the KS-10's. The NS-10's were the very popular
    mini nearfield monitor used in so many studios, until they went
    out of production a while ago. They're very hard to find (I'm looking
    for a set myself). Maybe? the KS-10's are the new replacement model.
    (If so, maybe they redesigned the tweeters so you don't have to
    use the cloth swatch in front of it).
    
    Just guessing.

623.2JBL control monitorsMINDER::KENTMon Feb 02 1987 08:019
    
    I have on loan a set of JBL CONTROL1s at the moment. These are about
    the size of a fairly large pair of Ghetto Blaster speakers. I.E.
    10X6X6. The sound is tremendous, far better than any other small
    speakers I have heard before (watch out for the subjetive view)
    including the Yamaha's which I have also tried. Anbody else hear
    these?

623.3What should I check out?STAR::MALIKKarl MalikFri Mar 27 1987 08:387
    
	I've sold my large speakers. Anyone have any further comments on 
    very small, high quality speakers?
    
    	I am considering Yamaha Ks-10's, JBL Control1's, and ADS 300's.

623.4What do you wan to knowMINDER::KENTFri Mar 27 1987 09:065
    
    I have had the Control 1's for about 2 months now and find them
    superb in a small environment.

    Karl,
    
    Also check out the JBL 4406, they're real small and sound great
    in a small space. A friend has them in his mixdown room.
    
    The Fostex RM780's are also nice, they're coaxial, which gives a
    little better phase response. They also have a switch on them that
    alters the phase response depending how you mount them, horizontally
    or vertically.

623.6Check out the GENELEC Biamp'sHSTSSC::LEHTINENTimo Lehtinen, TSSC HelsinkiSat Mar 28 1987 07:2515
    The best ones I know of are the GENELEC Biamp's. They are about 
    NS-10 size and active like all the GENELEC speakers.
    
    Like the name implies the Biamp has a separate amplifier and protection
    circuitry for both driver elements. It has a practically flat freq resp
    between 50 Hz and 20 KHz and can produce a 96 SPL per pair in a
    normally damped 40 cu.m control room.
    
    Our local pub here has two pairs of them installed in there,
    and that's the reason why we go there so often. ;-)
    Without seeing it would be hard to believe that the sound is 
    coming from so small box.
