How many bands of eq are there on the/your piece?
Do you ever use any additional eq?
Best Regards Patrik
Hi, PAtrik. Many thanks for your help!
Yes, I am geting rid of the AD DA of the 02R96 ( frankly I do not find it that bad, compared to the 192 I/O, 96 I/O and Apogee Rosetta 200). I am very close to picking a hedd 192.
I was informed that the BM15As do not translate very fine on mids. In fact, several people told me that.
I do not hae the budget for BeW 802s, but Lipinskis 505 with a velodyne sub could be a good choice,right?
My room has pretty good acoustics. Ethan Winer, John Sayers and Wes Lachot gave me precious tips and helped me calculating some stuff.
As I still co-produce some albums and occasionally rent the studio for producers and bands, some things can not be changed copletly.
My market oscilates a lot, so it is like 50% production/renting and 50% mastering.
And until past 6 months ago I was mastering entirely ITB!LOL
BTW...How is the Manley Massive Passive? Too dark? A nice match for the Ibis? Better an API? Drawmer?
Millenia EQ NSEQ2: $3800 (a bit expensive for so few bands) Manley Massive Passive: $3450

I will have to wait a little bit more to go with Lipisnkis and BeWs.
I will check also the BM15A and the C3s from Dynaudio.
I really like the BM series.
All I can say is that the quality of my work went 100% up at an instant when I switched to a new room and got rid of my BM6A's.
The Questeds work well now and my work translates, but I am expecting another improvment when I finish my new speakers with ATC bass+mids. It's going take a while to get'em tuned..
I personally would absolutely upgrade on acoustics, monitoring, physical layout, converters & all before thinking of another EQ. I could work on one good EQ all day long, but I would have some trouble if I needed to take 2nd quesses with the soft upper mids of the BM6A's.
Yes,I got the same feeling on the sweet upper mids of the BM6As.
They are exactly the opposite of my previous(crappy) monitors: The MonitorOnes MK1/Mk2. They hurt in the 1.8k/6k.

The Masterpiece has 3 bands of Peak EQ, Hi-shelf and Lo-shelf EQ's, a Hi pass and Lo pass filter for main module. I've never needed another EQ for correction but typically use the hi or lo shelf of the Millennia for a different color.

The Weiss EQ1 is an incredible piece, don't pass it by just because it is digital. They are about $4k. Talk to me in about two weeks, I may have a used Massive Passive available if you're interested.
If budget permits I will contact you. Thanks
