I listened to quite a few mixes on Yamahas, which are even harsher than Genelecs IMHO, and there is a short-term advantage in mixing, as you say, but the trade-off, at least in my case, was much quicker ear-fatigue. The Adams are less "in-your-face" and may require a longer "break-in" period, but I suspect will repay with being able to use them longer before ear-fatigue kicks in. > By the way, knowing this, you can work with them, but it's better to > have some other kits to compare. > I think your choice is cool.
