the thread title says "sub" so im gonna break it to you: dont use a sub unless you plan on making surround moviesoundtracks... clubs are in stereo therefor your setup should be in stereo. Not enough bass? Get bigger monitors, not a sub. Bigger monitors for 500USD? No. 5000? Yes.
Monitors in general shouldnt be bought if they are less than 1000 imo, u might just as well get a proper hifi in that range. |

| lol im laughing at what i'm seeing, if you want true dynamics with heavy bass go with KRK's. Skrillex uses them and he's big. |

| Hey what about those Avatone MixCubes that seems like a good idea for a second set |

| I've ordered some Alesis M1 MkII's for myself. They seem to deliver the best range and depth in that price range for me. |

That is absolutely idiotic. There are plenty of amazing artists working with nothing more than some rockit8s or behringer truths. Its all about setting up a decent room (acoustically) for your home studio and knowing how your monitors respond to it as well as how sounds translate to other systems. Buying expensive monitors and having sub-par production skill or a completely untreated room is just a waste of money. |

| yeah but for under 1000, you will get better hifi speakers than monitors. |

| focals are awesome, threated room or not, it will help your mixes. im so sorry that i didnt get proper monitors earlier, all that time wasted on not hearing whats going on. all my tracks sounds like , and first now 7 years later i can hear whats wrong with them cause of my new monitors. ing 7 years thinking my first monitors where good enough, people take this advice: monitors are the most important gear you will ever buy! you should use a whole month payment on it. |
