Hi everybody,

I already know that a good pair of monitors is the one that we're used to and can produce good mixes with, meaning the ones that you find detailed and well balanced no matter the device where you listen to them (Ex:crappy mono device, car stereo, home hifi, clubs, etc...) .

I currently own a pair of Yamaha MSP5 monitors working together with a Mirage LF100 subwoofer . I could train my ears to live without the sub but i find it a more comfortable way to listen to my mixes since the SP5s are a bit discreete on the low frequencies .

Despite what i said before, i would like to have a pair of different (larger) monitors as way to make an A/B comparison in my home studio . So, i selected three pairs that i found interesting for one reason or another, and for which i would appreciate you to share your opinions or experiences on them :

- Yamaha MSP10 - had the brief chance to audition them ; seemed well balanced and detailled and better on lows than the MSP5s ;

- Mackie 824 - also a brief audition ; also detailled but maybe a bit punchy on the lows ;

- Fostex PM-2 - don't have the opportunity to audition them ; few people that have them seem to like its output ; specs are interesting .

Any feedback will be greatelly appreciated . Thank you for your time .

Regards
Paulo Ribeiro
