What would you say is the best quality monitors.??
At the moment im listening to through my hi fi! I know the sound you get from it, but good monitors would be great.
I cant afford them yet though, just wanted some views.
I wouldnt be expecting to pay like a thousand pounds, just a couple hundred.
For the money you have , behringer truths aint bad , about the only good thing behringer ever made, there about £250 though.
alot of people dont like the fostex PM2 series for electronic music, since many hiphop people use it but i think its great.
hasnt let me down since the first day i bought it (knock on wood)
hey Miss Bass, guess who.... :cool:Quote:

Heard Behringer ones were good, surprised if they don't make kitchens! They make everything don't they
Behringer ones are whack. Really whack.
After about half an hour your ears will be ringing and after about two hours you will have blown them up...
I know 3 people that went against my advice and bought a pair, 2 of them blew thiers up and one is just pissed off that he ever bought them.
I recently sold my KRK K-roks on ebay and they only went for £80!! if you can get a pair of KRK's at that price i would say dont hesitate. You'll need an amp though but a samson 260 will do fine (about £90 SH)
Ive recently moved to Fostex PM-2's and while they get a little ear-grating at very high volume (they are loud bastards though) i think they are excellent and my mixes have been coming out much cleaner since using them. For £500 you cant go wrong.
On a budget id look for some second hand K-ROKs..
There is nothing else that compares at even double the price i sold the KRKs for....
yeah, i reckon a second hand pair might be the way to go for the money,Quote:

Monitors and Soundcard are the core on any up to date system DO NOT CHEAP OUT on these!!!
ADAM P11a are my babyes!!
Not very expensive 4 the quality...
Other names in the game are Genelec 1030a, Mackie HR824...
I'd go 4 my Adam's any day!!
If could afford I would have got the S range but it's a bit much for my little room!

yeah i had some reveals a few years back.. quite fun to listen to but the bottom end is just soooo ****in loose on the things - fun to listen to but not great when you listen to your music on another system..
I didnt like the reveals but the actives kick the shit out of things.Quote:

I feel they are a forgotten classics, people either ignored them or have never heard of them! Occasionally you see a 2nd hand pair for around £250-300 on www.soundonsound.co.uk which is basically a F***IN bargain.
If you are serious about techno production you would not replace these for anything.
PS You dont need the active ones, you just need a pair of pasives and a samson servo...
Does anyone here use the Mackie HR824's? I've been considering getting a pair but would like to hear from someone that actually owns a set. ;)
824s sound wicked.
yeah i worked on them, they r nicely sensible.
anyone tried out the fostex pm-1's????
i love these babies and am getting a set tomorrow
well im using the PM-2's as main monitors at the mo and i have to say for a little under 500 quid im incredibly pleased with them :)
im seriously looking into the fostex range, they look pretty damn good
Yeah i heard some fostex ones the other day and was pretty impressed ... and I thought fostex made slightly plasticy tape machines :)
we got a set yesterday. the stereo imaging is abseluteley blinding.

yeah, my one grumble with mine is the top end goes reall odd at high volume , it sounds like someone has just gone silly with a graphic eq - totally unbalanced. But at mid volume they are fantastic for the dosh, i can seriously reccomend them.
I would recommend the Tannoy Reveals either the blue ones (powered) or red ones (non powered). I know several producers with them and their tracks sounds super clean.
i have the 824's and love them. my ears used to get so tired with the alesis monitor 1's. but not now ;)Quote:
