Hello to everyone! My forst post here...
Finally got my hand on cash enough for a pair of monitors (and a soundcard!).
This is what i have zeroed in on... u guyz WILL have to tell me what to go in for, cause the option of cheking out these myself does not exist. also no chance to A/B them or to return them....
my shortlist according to what i have read (and availability).
KRK V4
(have worked quite a lot on the E8 in a studio before... the bass management there was ***ed up, tannoy sub and not matched, but i found the KRK to be a bit harsh on the mids, then again, what do i know. And the roon was bad.. not that mine any better.. its four walls and a bed. The SOS revies saz it roks. The V6 ?)
Alesis M1A
i acutually did my first ever mix on the speakers. And it came out sounding something entirely different everywhere else, dint like these monitors then, but ive read some nice reviews since)
M-audio BX5 / BX8
Heard a lot on forums bout them. ppl praising them and all. Bit wary of the rear port thingi.. then i realized that bass would anywaz be omni in natre.. still close to a wall could cause issues ??? Someone said somewhere the Events smoked these things.
Event TR 5 / TR6 (maybe the tr8 if i strech it)
Just read good things bout these too... a friend has a pair of tr5. Will go chek them out.
Behringer Truth B2031A
?????
My Bias is towards rock. Though i need a versatile monitor system. Room is not treated. But i will spend the leftover money on some DIY Acoustics. Placement could be near corners. Current size of room bout 10x14x10. And it's boomy in the lows. But it's on rent, so ill be carefull wtih money i spend here..
Ill be highly obliged to all those who reply.
thank you.

P.S are the pres on the Behringer UB series transparent enough.. plan to get a UB 502 for monitoring.
