To add to the Behringer Truths rant:

I had those about 2 years ago, and when i first got them, i thought they were a godsend. They cost so little and sounded so much. The highs were crisp, lows were good. Only after a while i started to notice that after listening to them for a while, my ears would get tired, felling a bit like they are stuffed with cotton balls. Later i figured out that these monitors had a "dip" in the high frequency response, just before the absolute highs. I never did frequency response tests, but i can say that low-highs were missing and high-highs were there. Later on, i decided to put my credit card to use (big mistake...) and got a pair of HR824's. Definitely worth the price. They are just better... Also, someone here misunderstands "value". I believe value is not set by cheap price, but by quality.

?!

Value in the sense of the dismal science (economics) is the worth of those resources sacrificed in return, lay off the crack

Your right, but you cant get stuff for free. If the price is too good to be true, there is always a catch. And NO, crack stays!

I friend of mine goes to a school for mixing ect.. and he knows one of the engineers that mixes on imac speakers. His mixers are sweet. So i guess it just goes to show you that you just need to know what your speakers sound like and what format your mixing for. knowing how to mix can;t hurt either.

Absolutely, but the purpose of better monitors is to make it easier for you. Not everyone is as skilled as others and many need a good system.

Dont you just love the thoughtful pose?

As if to say, 'I'm thinking about what would happen if I compressed a kickdrum track with a 6:1 ratio on a threshold of -25dB through an attack envelope of about 12 milliseconds. I may think geeky thoughts but I'm still sexy anyway. Check out the lighting on my pores and the pale foundation that my make up artist used to make me irresistable to women...'
