Hello,
i heard a guy that's selling all his hardware gear . He's selling the Alesis speakers with 200 euros (4 years old).
More details here : http://www.thomann.de/gb/Alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm
Before i was interrested to buy a pair of KRK ROKIT 5 G2.

I've been mixong off $150 headphones for a while now because of how tight money's been. I really really need a set of monitors that are actually gonna be beneficial to my mixing, not just a $100 pair of m-audio's or something.

Musician's friend has a sale right now on the Rokit line of KRK monitors.

The RP-5 is 99.99 (was 149.99) each..so a pair would cost me $200. .

I went to Guitar Center today with a CD of stuff I'm fairly familiar with and I tried out every monitor they had hooked up. I liked the Yamaha hs80m's, the bx8a's, the krk rp8's, and the krk vxt's(these were best). I liked all of the vxt's, but the 4's seem best suited to my needs considering the scale of what I'm doing. I've started to look around on ebay for a pair.

I was just wondering what anybody thougt of the KRK PR-8s, I'm thinking of buying a pair for $500, they also come with SENNHEISER HD280 headphones, I was wondering how good those phones were.

Thanks.

So I just finished my studio hooked everything back up and tried tracking my mesa single rectifier and 4x12 (miked one speaker) Anyways anytime the track got a little bass heavy my left speaker sounded like something was fluttering inside. I hit the roll off switch on my pre and it took it away for last nite but I think something's wrong because it was only the one speaker not both.

Who's had experience of both they'd like to share? Especially from a dance music perspective...

Still torn in my monitor choice, but have narrowed it down to the two that suit me price and soundwise.

Thanks!

So I've been hobbling along with a pair of old monitors (who's brand name I won't mention) that I got a "deal " on from a "friend". Seems they work better as an FM radio than a reliable monitoring systems. Not to mention that the high-end (even when attenuate) is making me go deaf.

Can anyone give me a comparisson on these. I am trying out a pair of V88s right now and i am not 100% sure if they are the route i want to go. If anyone has anything in the same price range please let me know. I can get the V88s for $1200 for the pair roughly. Thanks

Ok I need a decent pair of monitors. Im in college so that means for the next 3 years i will be mixing in a bedroom probably no larger than 14x14 room.

Today i saw a used PAIR of krk 5's for $179! and they run $150 EACH online.

Will they be good for where ill be using them. These will be my first monitors by the way.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I was basically all set to go for the KRK RP5s, which to me sound quite similar to the M-Audio BX5s, but:

The guy at GC, who seemed to be well enough informed told me that the RP5s are returned almost weekly after blowing out. Can anyone fill me in on the reliability of low priced monitors?
