Title says it all. Found a few posts, but not a lot. Anyone got them or compared them?
If I ever visit the States, sure. I'm in Melbourne, Oz.If you're ever in NYC, do a shoot-out at B&H.
...and I am now the proud owner of a pair of Eve Audio SC305's.
All I can say is wow, these are excellent!
I've been listening to so much material and playing around with VIs for the last 7 hours, and I can't stop.
I totally love them! I don't regret getting these at all, they always sound so well balanced and give me no surprises. And I don't regret getting the 305's over the 307's either, although I think either would have been great for my needs (orchestral stuff).Heya, just discovered this thread as I am considering either the Eve Audio sc 305 or 307 (or something else? lol - so many speakers outthere)
How are you feeling about them now? I want to upgrade to a 3 way monitor asap.

thank you for taking time for yet another replyI totally love them! I don't regret getting these at all, they always sound so well balanced and give me no surprises. And I don't regret getting the 305's over the 307's either, although I think either would have been great for my needs (orchestral stuff).
I find with the 305's I don't have any issues translating the music across to other systems I have. If I mix it to my taste on the Eve's, it turns out well on most other systems. The only thing to watch out for is sub-bass... the Eve's don't go that low obviously (although for their size and specs they go lower than you'd expect, and it's usually plenty for most needs). This means that if you're working with material in the low end space, you need to cross check the mix on another system with a sub woofer. If you are into material that covers the low end more, the 307s would be better. Or you could supplement with a sub-woofer. For most material, the 305's are fine, and probably the better bang for $$. Especially they seemed a bit more cohesive in the mid range to me compared to the 307's.
I don't find them fatiguing at all. I can use them and write new material with them all day and still be fine listening to them. They are wonderfully detailed but not hyped like some monitors, which is exactly what I wanted.
I would strongly recommend listening in person to anything you intend to buy first. Speakers can vary hugely even in the more pro level monitors, and are always a personal choice.
Good luck! It's a decission most of us have been through at least once. There's nothing quite like the thrill of speaker hunting!
