Space saving ideas for monitors

[Mongillo19]

Just moved to a new apartment and the guitar room is a little smaller than before. I'm really crammed for space for the Adam A7Xs. Does anyone have innovative space saving ideas for monitors?

Wall mounts ?

Wall mounts ?

Good idea! These monitors are CHUNKY so id need to make sure it can support it

Big-ish monitors against a wall can be less than ideal, though.

Maybe some smaller Monitors to suit the room.... which would include
some fun shopping.

@Stone and myself can vouch for PreSonus E5 XT's. I got a great deal back earlier in the year, not sure about now - but they punch way above their price point and you can always add a sub.

Those would be a good pick to try for the money. I don't have much space and got Genelec 8020's but don't necessarily love them. Maybe 8030's would be better. Doesn't always feel like $1000+ monitors though.

I can thoroughly recommend a pair of Neumann KH 120 A monitors. I have those - The original class AB ones, not the new DSP ones.

How long are you going to be in the new digs?

I just hope and pray you are not relegated to only Headphone useage, Josh.

Yes they are very good price performance, and I'm also thinking about adding the matching sub, but i use them for recording and mixing only,
Powercabs handle the Duty for my FM9 toanz

Thanks everyone!

Nice thing i like is their EQ adjustments for speaker placements along with mid and treble control for Adjusting to your Room/Space

The Focal Shape line is great. When I did my monitor upgrade I was initially leaning towards the A7Xs, but after spending about an hour in the store doing some comparisons, I ended up walking out with the Shape 50s. I really liked the sound and detail of them, the smaller size was a better match for my setup and I’ve found with them using radiators instead of ports, I had a little more placement flexibility.

Genelec 8010s

Presonus E5 XTs on the way. Got a pair for $220 new out of the door from SW

If you can get past the name, try the iLoud Micro Monitors (or the higher end models).
