| These any good? I mean they are dirt cheap but all I've got is the akg240's at the moment and I would not mind some other reference, also I'm on a tiny budget. |

if your looking for reference monitors these are not it.
but they are nice computer-speakers with lots of nice color on the sound. |

Ok got ya.
What is the absolute budget-est active monitors around that have a flat sound...Ive had the behringer truth's before but even those are out of my price range for now...
Are my akg240's giving me a good flat reference?
Edit* damn the truths in the USA are Dirt cheap but the shipping on those heavy mutha farks would be through the roof |

| I just read a thread on a different forum where the general consensus was the akg240 are very very colored.... :( I've been using these for years thinking otherwise. |

| headphones are always colored imo. it would be easier if u said a budget but you could listen to JBL LSR23xx serie, Im hearing great things about them. try also a search around here, theres 100 monitor threads the last year alone. |

Honestly dude,
Get used to your gear. I have fairly decent monitors but before that I had ty HiFi speakers for years.
I find my mixes on the shockingly colours Sony MDR v700 translate very well to me Fostex PM1s.
This is because I am used to how both sound. If I were you, I'd go second hand if you're on a really tight budget.
Interestingly a friend of mine has both the Alesis 520 and the AK240's. Both sound nice to me, but I will say the 520 (and Alesis in general) hype bass. |

My opinion, as a user of these monitors, not good enough for you? |
