Dear forum usres,



I plan to change my monitors in few months, and I would need your advices or your experiences about some models that seem great for the work I do.



I'm a recording and mixing engineer, and I mainly work on classical music and jazz.

I'm looking for monitors with relative flat response, good dynamic.

I don't need to have the same accuracy taht for a mastering work, and my room is quite small. So I'm interested in bookshelf type monitors.



I selected some models that seem great for this. I already know one of them (ProAc Studio 100).



- ProAc Studio 100

- Bowers & Wilkins 805 S

- Hot House Pro PRM165 (http://www.hothousepro.com)

- any suggestion ?



And what models of poweramps would you advise me to feed these monitors?



I precise that my budget is not enormous, about $2500 or less for monitors.



Thanks for all your advices.



Regards



Vincent

I'm familiar with both the B&Ws and the ProAcs but not the hot house. Sorry.



In either case, out of the B&W and the ProAcs, you're going to get a very fine speaker. My personal preference out of the two would be the B&W though. I find them very easy to listen to for extended periods of time - far more than most any other speaker out there.



For absolute accuracy, you might want to check out paradigm studio 20's. They are absolutely breath taking!



Of course, I must also put in a plug for the Dynaudio BM15s. If set up correctly with adequate space, these monitors are quite nice.
