Thinking of buying some Aleses M1s

[Jay Pace]

I'll happily use alesis as dj monitors when I can afford some mackies.

They are pretty bassy. One of the reasons I bought them initially - they sounded lovely. Didn't appreciate the fact that that it isn't necessarily what you want when producing.

ive still got my alesis, they were overly bassey when i first got them but plugged ports, isolating speaker stands and carefull room placement improved them a great deal.

as first monitors id reccomend them but like people have said there is much better availible and if youve got the little bit of extra money its worth going for something else.

ive enjoyed using them though and they now make an excellent pair of general listening speakers :)

Hmm.

Option A: I buy Alesis M1's and I sleep on the couch for a weekend
Option B: I buy Alesis M1's and I an engagement ring for her and I get away with it
Option C: I buy Mackie 824's, produce some good tunes but she cuts my balls off.
Option D: I buy Mackie 824's and a new mixer and ditch the whinging cow!!

Option E: Sell the missus into the slave trade via Azerbajahn, use the money to buy some speakers, and a load of porn.

after hearing fostex pm1 and pm05 in action, i have to say im impressed, if you cant afford mackies, they'd be my choice

If money isn't an object, I've really enjoyed using Genelec monitors.

And if money is an object i really enjoyed using white cider.

gene4lec 1029s are ok - clear but a bit harsh - with sub bass difficult to get balance right

I've got alesis MK2 actives at home and they are brilliant for the money - maybe a little bass heavy but you can plug a port in each speaker and jobs a guddun

have got hhb circle 5s at studio and they rock totally but are more expensive than MK2s

i'd say go for mk 2s and get used to them - play loads of familiar records thru them and you'll soon get accustomed to their bass response
