I have a small, low-budget home 'studio' (mainly used for experimental and limited creative purposes) but I need the best possible sound. I try not to skimp on my mics or monitors but in the past (when just starting out) I went with some m-audio studiophile SP-5B's.

Has anyone test drove these yet? I'm looking to upgrade soon and a friend of mine just purchased a set from GC here in Northern Va about 3 weeks ago. The reason I have'nt bothered him on the performance thing yet is because he's in the middle of renovating his studio (as we speak) and he lives too far for me to get a chance to check them out.

Ok first sorry for starting yet another monitor topic!

I have a pair of PMC AML1's which I use for my main monitors and I love them. They seem to translate pretty well and I have got used to mixing on them.

Hey ya'll

I'm in the market for an amplifier that will be used with NS-10M as the primary speakers.

In my experience, a Crown amp of 1000 watts minimum sounds as good as anything for these particular speakers.

I am very close to stepping off into a pioneering "purchase"area (for all intents&purposes) nobody(in my world) has done it too much as far as I know or can get folks to say, but I am very curious to know just how badly the resulting effect actually is in the doing, I mean, now that I have a Matrox card, my "pc" is now tv compatible but, & Iwant to find out how useful it is (since walma

I'm looking for about the best monitors i can pick up for about 5k.
just good, accurate, very flat, monitors that dont add any coloration. if its there i wanna hear it, if not i don wanna hear it.

just reading around i came across the mackies, and the Dynaudio air 20's.

i heard westlake is very good but are pricey?

Hi--

I've read most of the monitor posts on this board, just a quick comparison question.

I'm running an Pro Tools HD Accel 2 system, and most of my (analog) recording consists of running a bass and guitars direct into a pre (with the guitars then going into Amp Farm), and live vocals. I don't record live drums or amped guitars.

Hi. I had an offer about the Yamaha NS344, they have the same aspect than the NS10M but larger, 3 speaker and a volume for the middles and the highs.

I don't know if buying theese or the ns10 (here in Argentina are: NS344 at US$250 and the NS10 at US$550, so...)

Thanks everyone and excuse me for my english

I might get the Behringer truth monitors, approx $300.
I heard good things about them, and i'm currently using a stereo as well! it's an amp, and infinity book shelf speakers. I own a Shure sm57, it's my studios microphone, and I love it, good choice!
