I was wondering for all you guys that have spent all the money on the setups. What do you consider to be the best equipment to use for home speakers / monitors. Brands ? models??

monitors...jbl
home speakers...bose

The KRK brand of studiospeakers aren't bad either. Im using their budget set of speakers called RP8 and i am very satisfied with them great quality and looking nice too.

i am using the mackie srm 350's

go buy from daniel at dj mart... he's a great guy to deal with
even if you don't want the mackies... goto him, they have everything there
www.djmart.com
tell him some maniac on TA named FR3SH sent you

Event tr8n's, good stuff friend hooked me up.
But i still think the dynaudio accoustics bm5a hands down are the best sounding nearfield monitors out there better than asp8, and hr824 imo.
Also, Mackie SRM450s are great for parties and sound great too.

I use klipsch promedia gmx-2.1 for practicing in the dorm room and EAW speakers powered by a Adcom GFA-555 for the big events (thats some high quality ish right there).

im using some decent eltax floor standers, the are alright but more music for the whole room rather than monitoring, but i mix in the headphones anyway. my mate has the "monitor 1" speakers and they sounds really crisp and dont have much low end so you wont annoy the neighbours as much.

for home use most modern hi fi speakers will suffice.

I use apair of 20 yr old Sonys

Mackie HR-624 (http://www.mackie.com/products/hr624/)or HR-824 (http://www.mackie.com/products/hr824/)if you want to go high-end.

Made by Mackie - Tapco S5 (http://www.tapcogear.com/products/s5/index.html) and Tapco S8 (http://www.tapcogear.com/products/s8/index.html) will be more than sufficient and more cost effective than the Mackie.

M-Audio BX8 (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_...eBX8a-main.html) or BX5 (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_...eBX5a-main.html) would probably be your best non-Mackie purchase option.

Producers (not composers) and recording engineers might mention or suggest the standard Yamaha NS10 - however these are not appropriate for DJing.

please dont ever give out this advise again. bose are the WORST set of speakers you can get for your home.

bose perposely compresses the highs and lows of music to make the midrange sound better.

a bose system that you pay 2k for will compare to most systems you can buy for $500.

Bose convinces people through marketing that they make a good speaker. they dont.

bose refuses to provide independant testers with product samples so they can be reviewed. why? because they are scared. testers end up aquiring these products independently and give them very poor reviews.

ask ANY audiophile and they will tell you Bose is CRAP.

No Highs
No Lows
Must be Bose

For the same price you can pick up a Denon amp and Paradigm speakers that will make the similar Bose system sound like a clock radio.

Not trying to pick on you, I just cant ever let someone buy that crap.
