UP there in cost though.. Reviews are all good everywhere I read. I don't have them, never heard them first hand.

yep, agreed. monitors are a very personal decision. what works for the next man might not work for you.

^^^ VERY GOOD ADVICE...... Monitors Are A VERY PERSONAL TASTE!!!!


ALSO This IS What I'D Do Find a Spot that Has a Good VARIETY In YOUR PRICE RANGE THEN GET KOOL With them Favorably a spot where you have made purchases SO THEY KNOW YOU SPENDZ YOUR MONEY.................................

BRING A CD with A VARIETY OF MATERIAL ON IT..................


NO REALLY TRY THIS..................


HipHop
RnB
Disco
Jazz
Rock
Classical
Accapella / Spoken Word

And No All Styles Are Not Necessary but Burn Many OF these Styles on To CD in The Best Quality You Can Find (NO LO-FI MP3 I.E. Under 320 K)

those are nice lookin. i like them...

oh, dont waste your money on the RP5's

i just bought my first monitors...

i just don't have the time to go do the demo thing....

i have some KRK V4's on the way. i have high hopes - i figure it won't be long before i go looking for a sub to match with them though.

it's an assumption, that the SUB is allowed some more tollerance for imprecision ?? so maybe more "economic" models are reasonable. a good filter/crossover is probably the most important "precision" component in the sub...

for the sake of uniformity, KRK RP10S is where i would start. my 200 year old house is unfortunatly not the best place for this type of work !

i just copped some TR-8's for $310 with no faults or nada. damn i hit a lick!! i got the 5's, but the bass response was sucky as hell.
