Powered Studio Monitors - Please Advise
    #12190227 -

Hey guys.  I was looking into getting a pair of small Powered Studio Monitors, nothing real fancy but something in the 100 to 200 dollar range. 

I try to avoid behringer even though i have never had anything but good experiences with their equipment i heard in the past several years its no longer such a steal and the quality has dropped to match the price.

i was thinking about these fostex ones, i have had a bit of fostex gear that i have had a positive experience with over the years

thoughts?  suggestions?  ideas?

i am getting these to replace my PC speakers, without buying a stereo to run my audio through(old one died) and also for mixing and recording with my digital 8track.

ythan, you rock dude.  i feel that my time at the shroomery was very positive and enjoyable, but this site is no longer for me. im not mad or upset or disappointed, i just want no part in a pg rated faggot festival.

I would suggest a pair of Rokit power 5's.

The money you spend on quality studio monitors is totally worth it. If you buy cheap monitors, they will sound cheap. Krk Rokits may be a little more pricey but, in my opinion, they sound great.

The monitors you are looking at i've never heard of. Go to a Guitar center and listen to the monitors you are going to buy. Thats my suggestion.

i wish i had the option to go to guitar center.

but compared to my current setup anything is an improvement.  before katrina i had a set of roland mini studio monitors that were only 100 some odd bucks and they were fantastic.  unfortunately they were lost to storm related bullshit.

p.s. dont let my location fool you, i dont live in branson.

I've got the Rokit 6 Gen 1s and they're really good, definitely worth the price. I've listened to the gen 2s and I don't think there's much difference except they got a lot uglier.
It can depend where you're putting them though, my rokits suffer from way over emphasised bass when on a hard surface near a wall, they really need the foam stands and breathing space they have now.

cool.

one of my good friends is suggesting to me that i go with an amp and some good unpowered speakers because he keeps telling me im going to want to add components even though i dont think i will want to now...

still dont really see the point but he does know his shit.  just a bit old school.  which is cool.

If you aren't actually using monitors for music production, it could definitely be worthwhile looking into separates.
Good monitors are defined by being very "true" to the input, so you hear exactly what you are listening to, warts and all. If you are just going to be using them as standard speakers connected to a PC, which would generally mean listening to a lot of low quality audio, you might be happier with some hifi speakers that sound good to you.

If you just want nice sounding speakers go for the pair you wanted to get. And the Rokits should be 149 each i believe. I Listed the price on there but can't remember it now. Plus i'm too lazy to look.
