Wayne, I know what you mean about the speaker, but in a way it gives you a real worst case scenerio to use for accurate mixes of music to voice for TV. I normally record voice and music on seperate tracks, then when doing final mix, use the JVC's crappy little mono speaker as a mix reference, works like a charm. I must say that in the bang for the buck department the JVC monitor kicks over the Sony, but the Sony has "mo betta" color on green stuff. Both my JVC monitors tend to go a little overboard on the lime greens, my Sony on the other hand appears to have a better balance in that department. Each manufacturer's idea of color phospher accuracy is subjective. One thing for sure, using the JVC's blue check mode on color bars hits dead on accurate according to my vectorscope. So when I haul one of my monitors out on location it's very easy to set up for accurate color using the bar generator in my camera. Mostly I end up at the factory detents, but there are occasions when I've had to overdrive the little guys because of high ambient lighting at the location. All in all, I think I'm very happy with the JVC stuff. Frank
