What type of studio monitors are the best?

Im looking to buy some monitors off of ebay for my akai mpc 2000. Can anyone help me out with a good brand, that works well with bass and just has a clear sound. Thanks!

i got a pair of rp5's and they are real dope but i cant say that they are the best. just do some homework

go all over the internet and read about speakers.....

read read read.....


that a surefire way to know which SOUND the best to u...

I stand by KRK no matter what. I still have my BX-5's, they get the job done, but there are no KRK's.

Co-Sign. Im rockin da BX5s but KRK V series will be comin to me soon.

I'd say the best monitors are the ones you like best. So go to a shop and start listening to your favourite tracks through different monitors.

Yep but best to his preference. He may like the M-Audio Dx4s but we all know those arent the best monitors but will get the job done.

Another things is get you some pretty solid monitors and like Mr. P said listen to your music through them. As long as u can get a good mix u good to go cause remember u arent mastering you are getting a good mix.

But good luck with them.

Also know the difference btw Passive and Active. Check da link.

Well at least u already know how it will sound being played in cd players and stuff.

When i mix i have to then take it and play it in various stereo equipments to make sure my levels, eq, ect.. is right.

U Re doin your MPC? If me to. My shit dryin as we speak. Im doin alot to my baby. But um what it gonna be lookin like Mr. E?

I roc "Alesis Monitor 1 Active MKII Powered Monitors" which are cool for the price, $350 pair. But my ace got some "Event Studio Precision 8 Powered Monitors" and they are tragically-ill-matic!!!!!!!!!
But they cost $1,200 for a pair.

I use the Event TR8's and they sound clean.. you might wanna look into snatchin up a pair of Yamaha NS-10's though.. they ol skool, but they sound tight.. good for mixing too


peace,

I also got the event tr8; I really recommend these!!

but if you're looking for the 'best':
