Yamaha MSP5 studio monitors...
retail at £299 approx. hoping to get them on ebay, 2nd hand for £200 or so.
I am looking for some good recording and mixing monitors in one..and have read good things.
I want to be able to hear what's going on (within reason..no need for Genelecs or anythin!) and also get a good representation of what it might sound like on other peoples stereos etc.
..and if it wasn't already apparent..money is an issue. I don't want to spend more than £250 really. Be aware I'm only a entry level user at the moment, so don't need anything pro-standard.
ANY ADVICE?

I think they paint a pretty accurate picture of how your mix will sound on a variety of speakers. I love mine. 8-)

i dont know the exchange rate but i see them for US$250 i bought mine for US$200 a peace, and i highly recomend them. my buddys studio has genlecs and tanoys, and i have msp5s, if you can only affourd one pair of monitors thise should be them.

It is definitely hard to find something more "homogenic" in that price range. Great bang for the buck!

I had looked into getting these, especially after reading Kurt's review, but after poking around the 'net a bit more, I found numerous complaints of various parts of the cabinet rattling and resonating with low notes. That said I also heard a lot of praise, but since I had more money to spend than what they cost, I went with Dynaudios.

i think that a lot of the cabinate rattle is the result of just setting them on the desk, get some aulerex mo pads. the resone on dont really beleave that the cabs rattle is 1: they are really not bass heavy, and 2: the cabs are made of thick molded plastics, there are simply not many parts to rattle. now ive heard a rattle on the shelf in the cables, but never the cab.

Anyone use them in conjunction with the SW-10 Sub? I've been contemplating gettin' a Sub in lieu of getting larger monitors to produce the low end. Any other Subs people have used w/MSP5's and would recommend would be appreciated too!

I highly recommend these monitors. I am very pleased with the results and for the price range, they are the best you can get.

I'm always surprised at how loud they can get, but I wouldn't use them if you often like to go real loud. As soon as I notice it pushing alot of air out of those port holes I turn it down. Protects my ears and my mix.
