Cool, i've been thinking about these lately. Can you get away using them without a sub?? |
yea you could. the bass isn't all that strong though, the sub does help. However the mid's & highs make up for it.
If you've got a wee bit more cash to spend get the hr824's - they've got a good bass to them :) |

Haha well I don't have that much money! i'm only looking to spend $600, no more. I guess I could get the HR824's if I save up, but i still need money for classes, this summer and next fall. Hopefully i'll get more hours at work so I can save some money up for a decent pair, else i'm just going to settle for something like the KRK V6s or the KRK RP8s, which I heard that those have decent bass with out a sub woofer. I'm ONLY looking for a pair for mixing on my CDJs, no production yet. But I'de like a pair that is good enough so that if I ever do get into production, I could use them. But I could always save up for a really nice pair that I can just use for production, and get a less expensive but still good quality pair with good bass response (wihout a sub) for just mixing on my CDJs. I'm looking for some to replace my PAs. A 6'' or 8'' monitor. |

I'm running a pair of 12" full range Sansui SP-X7000s off of a Carver M-1.5t amp. The setup slams and can probably be pieced together on Ebay for roughly $600. I've been thinking about getting another pair of cabs to run off the amp.
I know they're not powered studio monitors but it is what I use and what I prefer. |

You don't need an amp for active, as most of them are active, like the KRK RP series or V-II series. They have built in amp. Thats only for passive speakers. I'm looking into KRK's too, either the RP 8s or the KRK V6-IIs, but i've also thought about the Mackie' 624s. |

Go for the RP-5s, they sound better than the BX5s. BX8s are a little better, but KRK beats M-Audio in the monitor department. M-Audio is not bad, but KRK just makes better monitors period. |
