Well, i definately want monitors, and it will be for home use, but at the same time want to be able to throw parties with them. I really don't know anything about specs when it comes to speakers, but i've used yorkvilles and Mackies, and definately don't need anything that powerful. I'd like to keep the price tag under $1000.00 U.S. for a pair with shipping, maybe even cheaper.

M-Audio BX8 Studio Reference Monitors--Pair

The Studiophile line proves that world-class reference monitors don’t have to cost a fortune. Integral bi-amplification and crossover networks distribute the optimal frequencies to the high and low drivers for superior performance over component systems. Benefits include flatter frequency response, reduced distortion and maximized power handling. The optional SP-8S subwoofer extends accurate low-frequency reproduction to deliver bass you feel as well as hear. The bottom line: The Studiophiles deliver exceptional quality at a fraction of the cost of other monitors their size.
Studiophile Standard Features:
Active design with integral crossover and amplification
Silk high-frequency drivers incorporate ferrofluid cooling and internal damping technologies to minimize resonance
Low-frequency drivers feature mineral-filled polypropylene cones with high-temperature tolerant voice coils and damped rubber surrounds
Electronic time alignment of drivers delivers controlled dispersion for superior three-dimensional imaging
All drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music production
Tooled rear Sub-Frequency Ports reduce low-frequency turbulence and optimize driver excursion for amazing bass in a small footprint
Acoustic Space Control adapts monitors to your needs Your monitors should be able to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment. That’s just what Acoustic Space Control does in the BX8s and BX5s. Since a monitor’s bass response can change depending upon proximity to walls, this control section allows you to optimize performance—no matter whether you need to put your Studiophiles on stands, on a bookshelf or in the corners. You can also adjust the high-frequency response to compensate for reflective surfaces like glass. The presence control gives you an automatic mid-range boost for added flexibility. There’s even a variable low-frequency roll-off to optimize response at crossover points when adding a subwoofer like the Studiophile SP-8S.

Well, its alright EXCEPT for my speakers. I've got 2 pairs and a sub, but they are old school home theater speakers. Good until you get into any high volume. My Allen & Heath doesn't even know what to do with them

Tranz, you always seem to have the answers for me. Thx man

Definately helpful. Those JBL's i've used too. I thought they were more expensive. But the pair of M-Audios' for $480.00? Seems like the way to go for me

Won't be buying for a little bit though. Got some bad news in the mail yesterday. Car insurance going through the roof.

as far as I can remember, those monitors have a slight hump in the lower midrange. this decreases the neutrality of the speakers slightly. if you use them for DJing this doesnt really matter, but if your into production, it could add alittle colouration to your final mixes.

Well anything by Tannoy is a great speaker. expensive , you bet ya!
are they worth the money, definately! Such an incredible sound from such a little sized speaker. There aren't that many speakers in same price range that would be better than Tannoys. Cheers..

Argh! Fucking insurance companies love to take people's money and most of the time raise their rates for no good reason! My boat insurance went up almost $100.00 last year and their excuse was that the cost of repairing a boat when up if it ever come to it.

I say shop around and get yourself a new insurance carrier. It is your right to do so.

fucking insurance companies! god, don't even get me started.

i took the insurance off my car for the summer, i can ride my bike around and save a lot of money (and damage to mother earth)

in the winter it goes back on though, carrying around groceries in -40 Canadian winters is not cool.

GRR!! kill all insurance agents!
