People that know about monitors - KMR Audio

There are lots of negative threads around about bad service and things like that, so I
think its good to occasionally have a more positive thread to highlight one of the gems of
the music technology industry - KMR Audio.
They don't even have on display
rubbish but popular gear such as the (heavily advertised) Mackie speakers, but only
products which they have total faith in.
What's more, they are able to explain
exactly why they have the opinions they do, and are able to back it up with huge amounts
of real world experience.
So anyone who is looking for monitors, get off the
web, don't look at the adverts, just get down there are talk to people who genuinely know
what they are talking about!

They were great with me recently regarding getting hold of a single Avantone Mixcube,
which wasn't easy!

I've used them for a long time and what I really like is that they totally understand
their clients. They don't hard sell, they just let you try stuff, talk it through and make
your decision in your own time. I've never ever felt any pressure to spend, and although I
am a reasonably regular buyer, I've equally had long periods when I've not bought any of
the stuff they've sent over (at their own expense). Their response..."No worries mate,
maybe next time'. They are good guys. J

Well, in particular, about trying a zero mix to test any tracking as a litmus of whether
to re-track, which is IMHO is a good leveller (and not in an English civil war sense)...
