Eleusene Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Anybody here with the Samson Rubicon 6A? I read some pretty good reviews about them. They are compared e.g. to ADAM P11a and are said to come close to their sound for a third of the price. Or are there any better ones in the price range around 400 Euro? What would you recommend?

Getafix Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I think at that price these are the best choice, to buy better one's you'd have to pay twice as much, at least 1000euros for say A.D.A.M A7's or Dynaudio BM5A's.. Quote
Mike A Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I read some pretty good reviews about them. They are compared e.g. to ADAM P11a and are said to come close to their sound for a third of the price.Compared by who exactly? Samson monitors suck as a rule of thumb. There is a reason why ADAM P11a cost 3 times the price of the Samsons. Quote
Eleusene Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 Compared by who exactly? It was compared on a german music tech site. Here is the link: http://www.amazona.de/index.php?page=26&am...;article_id=184 (It's in german, maybe open with babelfish...) Samson monitors suck as a rule of thumb.This is the same I thought until I read about the Rubicon series (especially Rubicon 6A). They get pretty good reviews at e.g. Sound on Sound, Future Music Magazine, Musictech Magazine as well as on the link mentioned above. That's why I'm trying to find out more about these monitors. Unfortunately the local studio equipment store doesnt have em so I cannot test them. Quote
Mike A Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I really doubt they are comparabale to adam p11. adam p11 are comparable to dynaudio bm6, some say it's even better. so you really wanna say that samsons which cost a third are almost as good? no way. i find it really hard to believe. Quote
Eleusene Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 so you really wanna say that samsons which cost a third are almost as good? no way. i find it really hard to believe. Please don't turn my words. I read this in the article and following the writing the Rubicon seem to be quite good. And as I'm looking for a pair of monitors I'm trying to find out more about them. For sure I'm not expecting ADAM class for a third of the price. Quote

It can happen. When my monitors were reviewed in Music Technology magazine in the early 90s they were compared to other brands twice the price or more. 10 years later I can fully vouch that they sound better than £250-worth.

Negrosex Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I have a pair, read some good reviews about them so i figured what the hell. They sound allright to me, but what do i know, we just wanted to hear what our music sounds like before we put it through the distortion pedal. Quote
Eleusene Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Thank you all for the replies. After some research in magazines and internet forums like gearslut I decided to invest a bit more and it seems the new monitors will be the ADAM A7. Quote
