Arrow Monitor Speaker Help....

Planing on getting some monitor speakers soon. Computer ones just dont cut it. Looking for crisp sound and something that would be great to practice on. If you know the best ones out there or the best ones for a good buy, whichever one. Let me know. Thanks.

JaY

I have 1 JBL EON 15"! Its the best investment in sound I've ever made. Hooks straight up to the mixer and is self powered with its own amp. Perfect buy for 400 USD. I really wanted to get a Mackie at first but they were way too expensive.



A state-of-the-art powered cab.

Biamped polypropylene cabinet of sophisticated design features a 15" woofer with neodymium magnet, a titanium diaphragm driver on a low-distortion bi-radial horn, 2 separate amps (130W LF and 50W HF) with toroidal transformers for driving each speaker, and an active built-in crossover. Protection circuitry shuts down amps if overheating occurs and a system of aluminum fins provides active cooling for the whole system. The entire cab is relatively light, built to take abuse, and sounds fantastic. 17"W x 27"H x 17-1/2"D. 46 lbs.

Features:

biamped polypropylene cabinet
15" woofer with neodymium magnet
2 separate amps (130W LF and 50W HF) with toroidal transformers
Active built-in crossover
17"W x 27"H x 17-1/2"D
46 lbs.

peace.

If you dont want something big like that and want reference monitors - check out M-Audio BX8 or Event TR8

Those are good speakers. I've had one since I got my setup and it has been great all along. It puts out a lot of sound and it's clear. I am able to play parties with one of these and a few weeks we had one of these and a EON POWER10 as a booth monitor at a warehouse party and it was loud. However, I have found myself wanting to upgrade after a few years and will be picking up a pair of Mackie SRM450s. I really love the sound of those and they're even louder than the power15s. If you could afford it I'd pick up an SRM450. Otherwise, the EON POWER15 should serve you well. I'd stick with a big monitor like that instead of near-field monitors for your setup personally. I just prefer having a lot of sound which is what you get from large monitors.
