My budget is 400, but I can push it a bit. I'm looking for a warm and "creamy" sound signature. I want mids to be very present, no recession whatsoever. As for the treble, I want a lot of impact in snare drums, but thats pretty much the only thing I want in the treble. Although I said I'm...- SmettMark
