| Alright. I have 500-600 bucks. I don't want used monitors- so what can I get that's quality for around that much? I know that there's been lots of threads about monitors, but I'm talking about a very specific price range here. |

| I don't have more than 600 to spend, unfortunately, or I'd grab those! I just spent 500 on a synth, so after this monitor purchase I'm totally done. |

I am so used to the fact that everything is that cheaper in USA that I completely forgot to check to see if it's pair or single speaker.
Anyway, for that kind of money 8" KRK Rokits are supposedly the best buy. A friend just got a pair and I must say I was very impressed. |

Check out the Tapco S5 and S8's. They are made by mackie and deliver a very true sound for their price tag. Just bought a pair and am pretty impressed by their flatness. I A/B'ed them against Alesis M1, Tannoys 5a and Yammi MSP5's and they came out on top. Didnt seem to excite the sound as much as the others and I could hear much further into the mix.
Have heard some decent things about the KRKs too but didnt get a chance to listen to any. Would be worth a listen too I'd say. |

I'll be picking up a pair of KRK 6s in the next week... I've found they're the best audio representation for my studio space. IMO, the m-audio didn't seem to have the same volume output while staying accurate overall.
note: If you have or will be using a sub with your system, don't bother going with the 8" drivers... go with either 5" or 6". If you don't plan on it, then the 8" are the best bet. |

| I just got a couple hundred more bucks and at a friend's suggestion I'm getting the Mackie HR624s. I couldn't resist. Woot. |

So I finally picked up my KRK RP6s.... and all I can say is...
OMG... these are the cleanest, fullest speakers I've ever owned. The full frequency response is incredible... best purchase I've made in 2005...
Highly recomended... |
