Good Monitors

Wat would be some good budget efficient monitors to go with? M-Audio? please let me kno lookin forward to purchasing some, don't wanna get sent off

Event TR5's are really nice, actually the whole Event line up. If you want monitor's/ computer speakers go M-AUdio Dx4.

I heard a lot of good things about the M-Audio BX5's though, but they are the same price as the Event Tr5's and the Events are a much better speaker. Go to Sam Ash or something and take some CD's with you, and test some boxes out.

Personnally, I heard the Samson's, M-Audio, Events, Behringer, ESI Near 05, Alesis. I liked the Events out of all of them.

I got the DX4 m-audios for my pc and they are good for that. They aren't that great for serious monitoring, but they are good for mixing on at low levels. I'm thinking of getting some TR8's though if I can get some financing. I'm looking at some financing right now. If I get it I may cop a 2xl and a pair of TR8's and call it a wrap with my set up.

I got a pair of M-Audio BX5's and they sound awesome. I'm gonna add a sub to the mix when it finally ships from zzsounds.com, but the M-Audio's cover the bass pretty well for being so cheap. It's a very safe choice.

Look into KRK's as well.

I have a set of Fostex PM-1's and they sound sweet!!!

Well worth £300 if thats within your budget.

Those I have not yet heard. They don't have em in any shops here. I read some reviews on those. How is the accuracy? My knowledge about them is that they do sound very good, but the sound is coloured, therefore not so accurate or transparent.

if u starting off get the studiophile dx4 they are great for starting off i got me a pair of those there 150 us

check out the new tapco 8 inch moniters... there sooooooo sick and under a grand canadian for a pair. soon as i get some kibble im getting a set much to my neighbors dismay

Which sub are you getting? I need a good sub.

I got Events....swear by 'em. Got a set of 5's and 6's.

This might be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the Event TR5's, 6's and 8's (soundwise)?

They all got about the same wattage. This isn't really typical in monitors of different woofer size. The numbers 5,6,8 basically tell you how big the woofer is in inches. The bigger the woofer, the bigger the bass response and over all imaging space.
