well i have, my wife is just about tired of me being on here. I discovered this site a little before christmas. I've heard several different opinons, and frankly it's beginning to become somewhat confusing. Here is where I'm at: I have a home studio, and I'm in the market of upgrading. right now I'm basically working from my pc, a couple mics (sm58, marshall1006, and a couple other dynamic mics), art tube mp preamp, samplitude 7.0, sound forge7.0 and Waves & antares plugin bundles. The sound qualitypretty good but i'm ready to expand my equipment. I enjoy reading the great Kurt Foster, and have been trying to follow gear he recommends. I listened to his link on micshttp://www.nowherer… - I've ordered the sp b-1- However, i'm wanting to buy some good quality monitors, but I haven't read of any clear brands under $1000.

Thanks for the kind remarks .... My current favorite monitors for under $1000 are the Yamaha MSP5's

These will be perfect for what you are doing ... and with the $500+ you save on them, you can install some absorptive room treatments and bass traps. ALL rooms need bass trapping, do not overlook this ...

Foam bass traps are pretty broadband, so they work on a wide range of room problems and are relativly inexpensive and easy to install ... and Auralex makes the best foam products. Talk to Jeff at the Auralex forum and with the mods over in the acoustics forums here on RO ... they won't steer you wrong.

And invest in one good dual preamp like the Sebatron or the Langevin--or a 4-channel Sytek.
