My friend got these monitors off of ebay, and apparently they hook up through speaker wire and not through quarter inch.

So does he need some type of reciever? Will a standard stereo receiver work? What exactly does he need to purchase to hook these up to his sound card?

Has anyone used this monitors. I wasn't able to find much information for these but I found them in a very good price. I used to mix on NS10 a lot. I'm mounting a small mixing/tracking room at home to do some of my ork and lo budget productions. Do you think this may ork?

I do mostly acoustical/jazz/fusion. Sometimes pop/rock too.

Do you think this will serve for a start.

Hello, new here and been finding lots of great info but I have something a bit specific. I make electronic music as well as urban beats with the goal to hit hard on the club dancefloors. Currently I hate using my M-Audio BX8a's (which I bought on a whim) in an naturally ok sounding small room (carpets, drop ceiling, tons of curtains). Please help me decide on the monitoring setup.

I'm looking for small affordable but "HONEST" "near field /narrow" studio monitors with or without a sub for now.
What do you suggest?

I'm looking to buy a second set of monitors beside my 1031A's and was thinking about one of these Yamaha's because they're cheap.
I have not yet compared these in the store, but reviews on both of them are surprisingly positive. What are the differences? And why are the MSP5's more expensive? Thanks.

I need some advice on buying some nearfield monitors. I am looking for some quailty sound on a budget. any advice on which monitors under a 1000 dollors are good sounding?

thanks

I've been looking at adding a good pair of monitors to my setup (a 16x10x8 room in an apartment, which also needs acoustic treatment), and I was ready to just get a higher-low-end pair like the Mackies, until I investigated further into the mid-end monitors. Lately I've done A/B tests at some of the pro audio stores around here, and the ones I'm currently considering are:

Anyone tried the Blue Sky Media Desk 2.1 monitors? I've seen lots of great reviews, but haven't seen much pro forum discussions on them. I like the option of being able to upgrade to 5.1 for another $500. I like mixing on transparent, "brutal truth", near-fields such as the NS10's, but the NS10's are now SO expensive ($1000), I'm not sure if the cost is justified anymore.

Hi people...Im moving to a brand new studio!

What justifies the high price of some small near-field monitors compared to others? For example, the Klein+Hummel 0110's vs the Dynaudio BM5A's. On paper, the specs look similar to each other and I've read rave reviews about both. But the K+H's cost twice as much as the Dynaudios. What is it about the K+H's that gives them their higher value? Thanks.
