I dont mind the alesis actually. I have a pair of the Actives tho, they dont have the double front port dont have the boom problem that the actives have. The fostex are pretty cool tho, id also check out the Krk range as ive heard good things about them.

...definitely leaning towards the fostex after browsing round a bit, the bass response is truer than the alesis by all accounts and I'd much rather it was honest down there - that's the main problem with the ones I'm using at the moment, the bottom end is boosted all over the place, total mudbath :whoops:

I've got the M1 MkII's, and so have a few friends. I agree with what an earlier poster said, they CAN sound far too basy, but if they are set up right, far enough away from a wall and angled properly, I think they give a good response. A mate I used to live with had Genelecs and another housemate had Tannoy's, set up right they were all much of a muchness.
You can get the M1's on ebay for a ton now too.

I've got M1MKII's,too. What I don't like on this speakers is that they can sound too bassy. Hand in hand with it you have to monitor more loudly to hear all the freq spectrum,properly,. and then your ears feels the fatigue much earlier. or at least mine do so.
I am thinking of sell them and buy some new,. I will probably choose between Adam A7, Dynaudio BM5A,, or Mackie HR624. will see..
