Good hypers for 500-600?
« on: February 14, 2005, 07:25:17 AM »
Don't need to have interchangeable caps. SD only. Won't be using them very much, so I'd really like to spend even less.
Thanks.

Ok. I found a matched pair for 426. Is that a good price? I was also thinking of the Audix 1290hc or 1245hc but can't find pricing. These will be more in the 700 range?

actually I would put a vote in for the AKG 393s....used they pop up for around $400 and imo no mic in the sub $500 touches them...

In this price range nothing will touch the Audix m1290s, including the akg 390s. ;)

i have to admit, i run the audixes and i haven't been the happiest with them.  mostly cuz of their lacking lowend.  however, i was messing around the other day in post and discovered that if i boost the lowened just a little they sound unfugginbelievable.  i might be keeping them a bit longer than i expected.


Because nothing says "I have lots of money and am sort of confused as to how to spend it" like Bose.
