It's time to get some new speakers for my studio! My trusty Yamaha HS80M have served me well for a couple years now. I'm not sure why I have yet to upgrade them but today seemed like the day to do it! I headed to SXPro in London.
Steemit is uniquely placed - it is much easier than Facebook to build a following, and unlike Facebook, here you are rewarded for your content. As a songwriter (or anyone working in a creative field) this is a game changer.
So here's a BIG thank you to everyone who has interacted / voted on my posts / listened to my music - you've helped me afford the Focal Shape 65's.
You can see they are a little smaller than my old Yamaha speakers (8" woofer vs 6.5") but they sound amazing.
The Flax sandwich cone offers a much more precise and controlled bass and the speaker is incredibly precise. I'm noticing things in my favourite songs that I've never heard before.
Lastly...
Wow it's super great to see another musician on steemit, I've taken about a year break and back the it was purely cryptotalk. I love the new diversity I'm seeing in my feed.
As for the monitors I think you made a great decision, especially if you are mixing and master on them. The Yamahas I've used and i didn't feel they had a true response, I got a clearer "look" at my stems with cheaper gear (rockit 6s come to mind).
I Haven't heard your new speaks but I'm sure they monitor very well. Congrats on the steem score bro.

I actually just made my first purchase that was 100% funded through Steem. It took me a little bit to figure out the best way to convert the funds, and it was a small purchase, but it is an amazing feeling to be able to do so. Love this platform and great pickup on the new monitors.
