I am looking to purchase a pair of powered studio monitors for my home sound system. I am running a RANE MP 2016 mixer with EQ, Pioneer efx 500, roland boss 303 sampler. Does anyone know of a good, solid brand of powered monitors that will not break that bank
and give me great sound? Thanks |

Actually I have a similar set up
3 Techs
1 Rane mp 2016 w/eqs
Gotta love that Rane
but anyway I bought some powered studio monitors because I wanted a flat response and since the Rane has such a good sound I didn't want it colored by consumer type speakers. Also didn't want a separate amp.
Any way I got discouraged by the price of good studio monitors.
I didn't want a dinky little e...I liked the way the Genelecs sounded and I liked the size of the mackies. But $1200 bucks forget about it.
So I found Behringer Truth monitors $349.99 pair. Look exactly like the Mackies (I think they are knockoffs) but they sound GREAT!!!
75 watt built-in amp for highs / 150 watt for the lows...XLR inputs and everything in the back to tune your room.
That was a year ago and I haven't had any problems with them. They ROCK!!! Still sound great too.
Peace |

Thanks brother! I love the RANE! Only mixer I ever wanted, so I spent the $$. Never go back to sliders. As for the Mackies, I have been eyeing them for months, just can't drop the money. I will check out those Behringers. Thanks for the tip
P.S. I see you are frrom Washington, do you know a kid that goes by the name Patrick Justice? Met him at Twilo few years ago, and we bumped into each other at Roxy fro PVD. Pretty good DJ. Just checkin |

| i have the truths myself too. only thing i can complain about is the bass output as it only has a frequency response down to 50 Hz. BUT that is the case with most monitors anyway. soo, if u want the rumble as well as the 'oomph'....get some subs. ;) but clarity, quality, and power-wise...the truths do a damn good job. |

Well, are you all even *going* to stores and demoing near-field capable active monitors? There are ones that are "all in one" enough to provide a full 20 - 20k... two satts and a sub... kinda like the dinky multimedia setups, except real full range studio monitors don't suck. ;)
I mean, a simple google search "near field active full range studio monitor" brought up some WONDERFUL gems...
