xltronic! I'm buying some monitors tomorrow. What are you using, would you recommend them?
I've been using some Tannoy 501a ones and they're rather nice but I want to try something different.

I had a look at these. £400 a pair, right at the very top of my budget. Supposed to be excellent for the price though. I will listen to them in the shop!

I'm buying them because I really need to replace my current speakers that *were* ancient sony supposedly hi-fi speakers. I got a deal from a reseller for that price shipping included, I'm basing my pick on reviews really, never heard them playing live, maybe I should go and check them but I'm too lazy. I'll just wait for them to be shipped and I'll eat my cock if I don't like them.

I myself have Yamaha MSP5 for many years, yet still can't afford new ones while compressors, synths are always on the top list :)
I worked once in a studio that had Dynaudio , very great sound but quite pricey. I would suggest Adams, cause i know a lot of people using them with great results. I would get some Adams my self one day.

i have alesis m1 mk2. they do the job, even if my placement is far from optimal, I had to plug the bass ports as well. the LEDs at the front are far too bright, so i put some stickers over them.
on the bright side, hanal got a pair as well, so you know it'll help with erectile disfunction

The alesis ones were at the top of my list! Smack bang in the middle of my price range and they have some really positive reviews.
I'll wing it tomorrow with a hangover. What's the worst that can happen?

probably a midget with a machete chopping off your knob, but that's the worst case scenario.
hope your journey to monitorland will prove to be fruitful

Somehow buying gear can be more exciting than making music. Like you love music so much, that buying stuff that helps make music is somehow gratifying, whether any of that shit is used or not. Amazing how that can work out.

Well... NS10s weren't meant as monitor type, abstract sonic reference speakers... but I guess people mix on them just fine?

i recently bought the yamaha hs 50's, im quite satisfied. they are good budget monitors(one of the better quality/price ratio imo), the only thing is they don't have alot of low. i don't mind but alot of people seem to so..

pff, i hated picking monitor speakers btw. everybody knows what's best, making up fake terms to describe some cool non existing functions. 'put some high near the cucumbersectionsq3b... you know. very x-delta 93' in a way..
