Your Mum sounds better lol

Naw if you are in the price range of VXT's get Acoustic Energy AE22's...leaves VXT's, Adam's and others in a pile of dust.

But what's the point if your room is not on point...get that sorted first then spend the big $$ on upgrading monitors other wise it's useless

The thing is, I don't really have the liberty of going and listening to these studio monitors to determine which sound better. That's why I need opinions. Basically, I'm looking for the best possible pair of studio monitors I can get for under $450.

???
The KRK VXT8 is $599 ea and the HS80m is $399 ea?

So saying a pair for under $450 and asking about those 2 makes no sense.

There is no real test to tell you the condition of the voice coils or the amps.
You could easily buy a problem without knowing it at the time.
People tend to abuse monitors by trying to treat them like a HiFi speaker or by giving it that occassional oops on the volume.

If you buy a used mic or monitors you should try to get them from a dealer of some sort so you have someone standing behind them.

Right now there are so many discredible people on places like eBay and CL who knowing sell broke items it's a shame.
So you better shop wisely.

He wasn't looking at the Rokits, he was looking at the VXT's.
