Cheap monitors or a good grot-box?

Hi everyone,

My current "monitoring" setup is a pair of Boston Acoustics CR8s hi-fi speakers and a Yamaha subwoofer. I get some translation issues with this system, especially in the upper mid-range.

I'm considering going with either a set of cheap monitors (under $500, was looking at MSP5s) or getting a pair of Avantone Mixcubes. I plan on leaving the BAs connected as well.

Confused...

Why is it when I look at pictures of radio hosts such as Alex Jones, or Don Imus, to name a few. They either don't have a circular windguard, or a foam cover. They are just speaking directly into the mic. I thought if you do this you get the bad S's and P's.

And if they are using a windguard in studio they are using the foam cover, I thought those are for outside work.

Sound absorbtion behind drumkit?

I have an 8x5 foot American flag behind my drum kit.

I was thinking I can put some kind of sound absorber behind the flag. I figure the flag absorbs an infinitesimal amount of higher frequencies.

What can I "hide" behind it that might take some more ring out of the cymbals while allowing the toms and snare to have some air?
