[QUOTE="Jason Raboin, post: 26980, member: 524"] Re: SC48 Post forward from PSW I have mixed some crappy mixes through an H3000 and some really good ones through an LS9. We all have bad days and get lucky sometimes. The point is I have mixed on both, and most everything in between. So if an engineer says that something sounds "amazing" but their reference point is prosumer equipment, that is not my reference point. It could be great value for money, and an improvement over the things they have used before, but that does not mean I want to start including it on my riders. I read a thread not long ago, and not on this forum, where someone said the JBL 712M was the BEST monitor out there. Not the best under a certain price point, or best they had ever used, but the best. Now this person, I would hope and assume, has never used a D&B or L'acoustics wedge. This doesn't make him a bad engineer, or even inexperienced, but one who has a narrow frame of reference. So when there is a glowing review of the Fulcrum DX1295, I have to wonder where it would stand against a Nexo PS15, D&B Q7, Meyer CQ1, etc. I hope it can hold it's own, as it's a small, local (to me) company, and I like the philosophy. I also know that the reviewer is an experienced engineer. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to hear it at the Expo in a couple of weeks. Sorry for the topic swerve. [/QUOTE]
