i use NS10s daily so take my words with grain of salt :wink:
my biggest concern about Spirits and Reveal would be back fireing bass port. this, when set up wrong can cause major headache.
also IMO speaker to have decent bass response needs at least 8" driver (for example Yamaha MSP5 - i am not sure what, but something is not right there, probably i am to used to NS10s tho :wink: ).
which leaves PS8s (i have not heard them), Mackies (sound fab but pricey) and possibly Tannoys System800 - friend had their ancestors, also with coaxial driver and i loved sound of those.

now back to my home studio, i have to figure out what possible use might be from 4 strings in my bass (have to learn to count to 4 first :smile: )

cheers

Hello! :smile:

Thanks to all for your advice. If a pair of 624s costs around 1400euros, although higher than my budget, they are not too expensive... so, they are an option... In one month I will be in Athens so I will try to have a listen to the PS8s and to the 624s and buy one of the two...
Which company makes the NS10s that you have and how much they cost?

Thank you :smile:

Yamaha NS10, long time industry standard, and widely recognised as one of the most terrible sounding monitors ever :smile:
They do seem to have a very flat response though, so if it sounds good on those, it sounds good on everything.

they are not made anymore (some say thanks God :smile: )

They are nowhere near flat, but their transient response is blazing
