Samson Rubicon 6A


Recommended Posts

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?

Compared by who exactly? :D:lol:

 

Samson monitors suck as a rule of thumb. There is a reason why ADAM P11a cost 3 times the price of the Samsons.

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...)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :)
