Thank you so much, that is very informative, especially about the MILD.
I'm about 42" away from each monitor and the more I mix, I'm getting better mixes by listening at low and medium volumes, and never truly playing the monitors really loud.
As far as what I want from a monitor, ideally I want more accuracy across the entire spectrum, especially in the midrange and the bass.
This is what I found about the 65's vs the 80's.
As far as the 80's, I felt that I had to crank them up and pump up the lows to notice a significant difference.
In the end I thought that the Focal Alpha 65s were more homogeneous and better suited for what I "think" I need.
That being said, I just HAD to buy some NS10M Studios to see what all the hype is about
I'll have them Monday, so I'll see.
Thank you again for all the time it took to reply.
