the bottom of the line is i have to try out more brands i suppose
at this store i liked Event TR-8XLE (380 euro a piece) and genelec 8020 A (289 euro a piece, they were out of 8030A's)
and i think the events sounded flat, which is good for monitoring, but it maybe was a bit too flat, also i don't know how well the low is represented
the genelecs on the other hand seemed to boost the signal. they sounded really nice. but i don't know how good they are for me for monitoring.
(i also tried the krk vxt6 and 8's and i hated those, it seemed to boost too but it seemed all over the place, it didn't sound tight like the genelecs. maybe it's good for representing lows).

I think you should consider purchasing nearfield monitors, because you will be able to monitor the sound more accurately. Your room can interfer with the sound otherwise. most of the time your better off with nearfields. The down fall with nearfiends is that the bass doesn't have enough room for you to monitor it, but that's why you get a seperate sub monitor and place it at a good distance from your nearfield.
with this set up properly you can really monitor your music very well. be cautious when auditioning in the store, dont just got for which one sounds the best, flat is better for nearfields, accurate detail. err the sub you want to be low and deep, and clear.
regards
Larn

get the industry standard .....what is that now?? yam ns10 no longer made! im not sure? little skipping girl.......will you venture into the land of surround? with your miusic it would sound rather cool....buy something you can get in a few years so you have a matching set....if thats possible.
i use spirit absolute 2's ...no subs ... 6 of em ...one i punctured with an umbrella ...ive said that story so many times....just dont open a brolly indoors when y get your new speakers ay!!

thanks for the tips
i don't think i'm going to get a sepperate bass or going into surround at the moment
i guess i should try mackie's, if i can see them at a store
i should consider what it will sound like on my setup at home as well

NS10's are no longer made, but Yamaha make a modern equivalent, and i believe they're active monitors too.
i can't remember the model number though, but you'll find them if you dig deep enough

well i bought event 20/20 bas monitors from e-bay it's good though even more expensive monitors have better really low bass
in general i think active monitors don't sound too good, it all sounds a bit plastic to my ears

I'm thinking of getting some monitors as well. Krks dont cut it hey? they're the ones i was spying on. I'm not really looking for complete flat response, just some juicy sound. my bose monitors are shite.

genelec sound like sex and autechre like i said they seem to boost over the whole range, but it doesn't really matter what kind of speakers your getting when you now its peculiarities
they are small and look cool, the smallness doesn't cost bass, compared to same pricerange speakers of other brands
