Hello, i need to get some monitor speakers as at the mo im just using standard hifi speakers which have ok bass but im pretty sure they don't have the same frequency range and clarity that monitors do.
Im wondering what to get though. Im prolly thinking of spending like �300 or somink like that. Is it good to go for actives rather than passive. I do have an amp already (technics SU V 500) but the o/p are in the block binder form where u inser bare wire, would this be a problem at all if using proper monitors and also the amp would it be good enough to by pass active's.
My mind keeps wandering over to those new sky blue monitors but well, they are �999.
Im using them mainly to produce dance music and rnb style if that helps at all.
Also i think i'll get some stands too so i can arrange them so that im in that typical equalateral triangle position.
What do u think.
Scott

I have just been checking out those alesis monitors mk2's u mentioned and they are priced at �230 mark. I noticed some others though more expensive at about �320 called Alesis ProLinear 720DSP (each) �330.00 inc VAT
Professional Studio monitors and was wondering if theses would be better. Im willing to go to that price range for the monitors.

oh i dunno... they seem a bit gimmicky what with the LCD and the digital control. better get a basic but well made pair of speakers.

you know what... i'f you're looking for good speakers on the cheap, why not check out B&W. at the very bottom of their range they have one or two pairs which are affordable. dont know the names, but sound very good. mate of mine got em and he's turning out more than well sounding mixes.

reveal actives.

never used them. Tannoy has a damn fine rep tho so I dont think theyd put out a crap speaker even at their lower range.

Samson has the "Resolv" series now, too, but...they are a bit too cheap. Funny how that works...
