Hello,
I am interested to buy a pair of monitors and i would like some tips...
I know that i should test the monitors my self , but i am going to buy them from the web so..
i am going to bother you guys.
So , i checked the web and i am between these monitors :

YAMAHA HS80M or HS50M
ESI NEAR08 CLASSIC
ALESIS M1 ACTIV MK2
KRK RP5 ROKIT G2

Can anyone tell me which one is better for dubstep or sugest me an other one (around 500 Euros max) ?!

Cheers

I have recently made an upgrade from alesis m1 active 520's to krk rp6's and I love it. Nice bass response. Definately worth the buck. You can grab a pair of RP6's for 400 euro at Thomann. Dont know much about the others you listed tho.

Thanks mate , i was between the KRK and the Yamaha ,
but i noticed the frequency range , and the ESI are better (40Hz-24kHz).

wider frequency range doesn't necessarily mean they are better

This is true, you're frequency range might be 40hz-20khz, but you have to look at the actual graph to see where it starts rolling off. Your best bet is to get monitors with 8" drivers, most 5" drivers can't really reproduce a lot of sub-bass found in dubstep.
