Auratones are used to have an impression of how the mix will sound on variety of consumer gear, they are not used to do a complete mix. More of a mix is done by using near field monitors. If somebody don't has much money, it's better to buy monitors, than to build monitors. If somebody has lot of money, it also might be more comfortable to by monitors. If somebody is in a financial crisis, I recommend to buy RTF B3010 HIFI at Ebay. They are from the GDR and today small radio stations and small audio studios use them as near field monitor here in the FRG. I'm using them myself. A pair costs 50,-€ at Ebay. They aren't very good, but you still can buy monitors for 1000,- € that are less good. DIY for gear like monitors is risky. - Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
