The Logic Off Topic list

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.

Hey Kickin - I have a pair of Event 20/20 amplified near fields that 
I picked up for about $500 about two years ago.  They work great for 
me.  I've gotten some really good mixes using them in my lil' home 
studio.  They're not the best monitors, but for the money I have no 
complaints whatsoever.  I haven't really kept up with what Event is 
putting out these days, but when I bought mine they had a bi-
amplified pair for about $800-$900.  Mine are not bi-amplified but 
they do the job.  I record mostly on a Roland VS-880 and use Logic 
and Cool Edit Pro as well and I have been able to achieve profesional 
quality mixes with my Events.  They are good for the money ,but 
that's just my opinion.  Hope this helps.
