Will these do the job just fine ? I can afford these, unlike the other 1000$ monitors recommened on this forum. If they suck, feel free to say so. I don't know anything about monitors, except that I need them ^^ |

Well I guess they'll do but it will be more than likely that you'll want to upgrade them sooner or later anyway... so you'll probably even end up saving if you pay a bit more now.
I paid about $500 for my monitors (Tannoy Reveal Active) and they're more than enough for me, so you don't have to go to the $1000 range at all... |

yes those are on my list also. Do you think they are still 500$ ? Are those alesis M1 active's about the same quality ? I believe these are only 400$ not sure though.
Btw do monitor speakers REALLY make a big difference between normal sony speakers on a stereo at home ? I KNOW that monitor speakers are very important and make it alot more comfortable to master, but is there that big of a difference ?

Well I paid €525 for them just 2 weeks ago, but that was from a local shop - I'm sure you can get them cheaper from somewhere.

Oh yes. Monitors have a lot more "balanced" overall sound. Someone can probably fill you up with the technical mumbo-jumbo, I'm too tired to do that now ;) |

| No need to man, I figured it mattered, but I just thought that maybe in some parts of the world it was unusual to have the luck to own a stereo (hey don't shoot me for thinking this about you guys..), so you guys HAD to buy monitors. Sorry :) I will have to buy them at a local dealer also, since ebay and that stuff has given me some headaches by now. |
