Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

The issue here is knowing exactly what you are doing with the MAC and what
you expect from the monitors.

KRK, Adam, Genlec, Yamaha  and even the higher end M-Audio all work fine but
it is horses for courses in many ways. 

How long is a piece of string?

 

The ones you mentioned would be just fine for normal studio use but then so
would lower cost ones if you are not trying to be too critical in your
listening.

Sorry, this isn't a strictly Logic query, but I am looking for 
monitors to use with logic, which I am running on my imac:

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac9,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.93 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM91.008D.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.37f3

I was told by an audio engineer that you need to spend £400 a speaker 
or its money down the drain, which rather made me gulp (I guess that's 
about $400) so I did some research and got totally and utterly 
confused. In the end the speakers that I guessed might be best are these

The KRK RP8 from Rokit

I would anticipate having them about three feet away from me, in a 
room that is about 12' x 20'. I don't have a studio to work in, and 
the room has wooden floors and lots of windows. That, I know, is far 
from ideal but there's not much I can do about it.

Given that, does anyone have any advice as to what speakers I should 
get. I don't even know if the ones above are right for using with an 
imac, so any help would as always be much appreciated

thanks in advance

Andy
