what speakers do you guys use or want?

going to purchase a monitor soon, was thinking of getting the behringer truths b2031a or something similar in it's price range

300-500 pounds

Please don't get the behringers. KRK's are good value low end monitors. I don't know what they cost down there, but should be in your budget. If they are just above, save up a bit.

Krk rp8s gen1s cant complain theyre solid as fuck and probably the best in their price range.

I use the KRK RP6G2, I'd suggest you to go into a store and give them all a listen, a really good learning experience when you notice differences between the monitors. Just bring a CD with songs you know are well mastered/you like the sound of and see how they are on the monitors in the price range.

Fuck Behringer and KRK off, you could get some Mackie monitors for that price.

I'm getting some Adam or Genelec next, still can't decide.

genelec 8020a's, love them.

I a/b'ed the krk's with the mackies, really felt the mackies were hyped.

FWIW.. I have heard very good mixes come from the Behringer Truths, though the room they were
used in may have been very well treated and the user knew them inside out.

cheers

I got no monitors just yet either. Right now I'm working off of "AirWave" speakers and a Sony subwoofer and also with monitor headphones

I do all my producing through these:



And some Sony MDR-V150 headphones.

Dynaudio BM6A MK1s

In your price range you should try to buy a nicer monitor used.

I always hear good things about the Mackies but don't have any experience with them.

some logitech pc speakers

got a pair of M-Audio Studiophile BX5a speakers. not the best monitors out there, but pretty damn good considering the price (got them for 150EUR second hand).

Pair of old JBL speakers + one of those 2.1 sets that's way too loud on the low end. Trying to balance that out through
an even older Marantz amp.

M-Audio BX8a Deluxes

The numbers refer to the cone size, and the bigger the cone, the bigger & lower the bass response… so get the biggest you can afford/fit in your studio… the M-Audio BX5a’s are made to work with BX-10 Sub woofer, however…



So they will reproduce mids and highs very well, but you’ll be lacking deep bass...

I have BX8’s… and don’t need a sub.
