I imported this thread from the Logic list: I'm shopping for an upgrade from my sony stereo which is quite unadapted to my mixes needs. The range of money I can spend is in the $500/1000 range, and here are my findings so far: Wherever I look, I'll never find anything accurate and complete in that price range. My dream is a pair of Dynaudio BM15 but I'd have to kill my banker first. My mum would be mad. If I have to compromise ANYWAY, why spend all my money and some more on $1300 Mackie monitors that don't sound transparent anyway? Same goes for the Yamaha MSP10. It doesn't sound like there is a lot of choice for monitors in the $800/1000 range, so that take us back to a good ol' pair of Event PS8, the biggest woofer cheap monitors. They sound decent and will leave me some cash for a Rode NTK. But....will I need a subwoofer with those? How much is a sub? Am I better off with smaller monitors + a sub? BTW, I mix industrial rock pop songs, wierd aggressive distorted sounds that some would call noise, and try and put them together in some sort of art thing. Thanks for the help.
