I just received a pair of Event Opal and yippy yahoo is all I have to say. I've had my eyes on these for over a year and they arrived today. I'm obviously on the sonic honeymoon so I'm not going to be able to give a solid review on them for a while but my first impression is The sound is what I hoped for, a clearer upper mid which will complement my other pairs.
I have a good mix of monitors now. I feel I've been mixing too bright before, now lets hope I can achieve better mixes. I've read comments like they are weak in the mids but I have to say that the mids are are nothing short of the complete opposite. These sound really smooth and clear. They look great and the build on them is just excellent.
First impression, I'm blessed. I'll be back here in a month with a more accurate opinion. This site uses cookies. By continuing to browse the site you are agreeing to our use of cookies. I agree.

I personally found them too forgiving with frequency buildup but that's not a shortcoming with the speakers, it's a shortcoming with the match-up between my ears and the speakers.
In the past I have purchased speakers solely off of reviews, specs, word of mouth, forum rep, ect.. Not that you couldn't possibly end up with a pair of monitors that are a good match-up for you but you could also play the "buy, try, sell" game for years, like I did.
Personally I think the better route is to go to somewhere like Vintage King, book a demo appointment, demo all the monitors in your price point for a couple days and be done.
This will save you a lot of headache, time, money, and may end up landing you on a pair of monitors that "jimbo88" on forums never even mentioned. ChrisH, post: , member: wrote: I personally found them too forgiving with frequency buildup What do you mean by that I mentioned it in more depth in another thread but, very few people actually have really good ears.
And much fewer have the listening experience to accurately tell you which thing sounds right. When you put those people in masses, due to the unspoken pressure to conform, as well as their own faults, you get reviews that apply, only to people with the same caliber of hearing, and the same "judgement" of sound I'd like to make a distinction. There are people who could listen to a bunch of things, and tell you, very accurately, which one is the best.
The problem is, to arrive at that point, they have spent decades buying drivers, making designs, building enclosures, tuning, critical listening. I know many people who I could call if they had heard the monitors in my price point and they could tell me which is best, and I would buy it, and they would be.
But I've listened to those guys designs for many, many, years. I respect their ears. But those people are few and far between. Like I said, the opinion of the masses, is pretty meaningless.

That's the best way to audition your monitors. Brother Junk, post: , member: wrote: What do you mean by that For me they weren't showing where the mud in the mix was, basically too "forgiving".
I like monitors that are very very unforgiving ns10's got me on that road but that again is a personal preference as all engineers want a speaker that is going to show you the weakness' of a mix. I believe the problem is we all hear significantly different, so things like how a speaker "shows" you low mid's is going to be preference. I prefer a speaker that has punchy low mids on a kick Like a good car stereo when the low mids are actually right.
Also a speaker that makes you work a little harder where a mix isn't going to sound clear and punchy given that's what you're going for unless it is really clear and punchy. ChrisH, post: , member: wrote: For me they weren't showing where the mud in the mix was, basically too "forgiving".
Yeah, if that was your experience, that's a no-go. ChrisH, post: , member: wrote: I like monitors that are very very unforgiving ns10's got me on that road but that again is a personal preference as all engineers want a speaker that is going to show you the weakness' of a mix.
I like everything I listen to to be unforgiving lol. It's an expensive "preference. I think the amount of ear training we have plays a major role as well. If you look at hearing loss, as you get older for instance, from k, the ends just tend to drop off. People start to hear at 30hz, and lose it at 19khz for instance.
So even as they get older, they still get most of the spectrum. But most people's hearing isn't giving them a 6db dip centered on Do you know what I mean? Our hearing is different, but if the person has healthy hearing, mine and yours will differ. But it shouldn't be so drastic that people claim Rokits are unbiased.
I think that stuff, just stems from lack of ear training. Imo, they aren't listening to the Rokits, and hearing the NS10's. They just don't have enough experience to know that the Rokits are not what people would call "flat.
I'm talking about people who hear the Rokits and say, "that's unbiased and honest. And I don't mean that as a judgement Most of us, either have to do it for our job, or we are just obsessed. I'm the latter lol. I've not heard any in that price range, but I know what you mean. I've not heard the NS10's, but most people say they are similar to the HS8's in character.
Imo, in their price range, those sound the most "even" to me. Anything with more midrange or treble, to my ears, is not right.
Brother Junk, post: , member: wrote: Our hearing is different, but if the person has healthy hearing, mine and yours will differ. Yes, I agree. That's probably more of how "matured" your hearing is, rather than how well your ears are working, right? After years of doing that, your tastes in hearing gets "matured" or "classier", at least it seems that way.
Totally anecdotal evidence, however a drastic example would be me in high school vs me now.. High School: I wanted bass bass bass, volume volume volume from playback systems. Current: Not really into volume, wear earplugs at most concerts if needed always bring em. Want a smooth top end, pronounced low mids, accurate sub representation, wide stereo field.
I think that you're most likely not going to be able to know what speaker is going to work best for you until years of mixing, until then its probably best to just stick with something decent. Brother Junk, post: , member: wrote: Imo, they aren't listening to the Rokits, and hearing the NS10's. NS10's are not a flat speaker but they still translate well, even in There's definitely more colored speakers than Rokits, I started out when I was 14 with M-Audio BM5'as and the tweeters on those are more colored than most hifi playback systems tweeters.

Any speakers I should be looking at instead of Event Opals?
The no compromise design brief for these speakers was essentially the impossible - to create the most accurate studio monitoring system available. The Opal was to be an 8-inch two-way speaker with the same dynamic and extended mid-range as the most expensive esoteric three-way systems. It had to feature extended and powerful bass response, and have seamless and transparent integration through all the frequency range. Distortion was entirely unacceptable.

New Studio Monitors
The Event Opal is an eight-inch two-way powered studio monitor that has been designed from top to bottom to enable the reproduction of the most detailed dynamics while delivering incredibly low levels of distortion. Its woofer, tweeter, amplifier and cabinet all feature innovative and unique design and technology elements, combining to create one of the finest studio monitoring systems ever released, and certainly one of the most important studio recording advancements of the last decade. The Opal's EX8 driver provides a raw response of 30Hz to 10kHz and a power handling of up to watts. A high-powered neodymium motor provides 36mm of linear excursion to the bespoke high-strength glass fiber polyamide cone. Event's X-Coil technology dramatically increases the driver speed and control, lowering distortion to levels previously unavailable in its class, and providing defined and accurate mid range reproduction as well as powerful, high speed bass. The ULD1 tweeter combines ultra light and rigid beryllium-copper with an extremely powerful neodymium motor to produce unbelievable high frequency clarity.
