Nearfield Active Studio Monitors

[dan the acid man]

I got to the same point for monitors too. So many arguments for and against different ones that I have decided to build my own to the specifications of of good monitors.

I got my electronics kit the other day, now I have to choose the Speakers and Crossover- Oh and wait for my Cherry ply wood order to hurry the f*ck up. :D

Have you built speakers before ?

I'd imagine everything has to be spot on to build decent monitors.

Good tips from morbid, it's always a good idea to go secondhand and pick up some better ones.

Good cheap ones though used to be Fostex, Alesis and Krok's. Not sure if they're still the best around for that price range though.

I personally wouldn't advise listening in shops, the room will be totally different to your studio room.

You can generally get a good idea of which are more highly regarded if you look around on the net for long enough.
