In this video, we showcase good vs bad studio monitors. James compares the following studio monitors: Behringer Nekkst K8, Presonus Eris E8 XT, Kali Audio LP-8 and Monoprice SV28. He also introduces a control speaker the Salk Ellis 1802G as how a reference monitor should actually perform for critical music mixing and listening. One of these monitors is so BAD that we simply can't recommend it to be used as a studio monitor. Watch the video to find out.
