I was intrigued by the "Mic Construction" post, and that there are people out there that build their own mics. I was just thinking the other day about learning how to build my own speakers. Does anyone know where I can find information on building my own near field speakers?

Curious if anyone here has tried the DD0254 trapezoidal near-field grid on 4003 or 4006? I would like to hear your subjective reactions.

hi everyone...
just hoping to get down to the basic stuff...i havent heard many studio range monitors cept' fer a pair of 1032 a Genelecs..in school and maybe a JBL here n there..
I'm actually interested in a pair of Mackie's hr 824/624..fits my budget kinda...hey how bout the KRK V8' series..anybody heard how they sound...

I'm in the market for some new monitors for my home studio. I'm looking for quality, nearfield - powered monitors. They will primarily be used for mixing Heavy Metal. So I need them to be tight in the low end with plenty of thump and clarity. I don't want something too bright as they're far too fatiguing for this genre.

Ok Im on a tight budget when it comes to purchasing the rest of the equipment for my studio. By any means...I wouldn't normaly go cheap when buying monitors...but I have to budget the money I have left...

I'm willing to spend $500 on some active monitors and I have come to like these two. Which would you choose and why? Also, anything else I should look at / listen to in this price range? I like the 8" woofer on the BX8s, but I think the Yamahas are probably the better monitor.

Hi guys,

I'm quite undecided as to which pair of active monitors to upgrade to... both being cheaper monitors, but I can get a pair of MSP5A's for $800 Australian, or a pair of Tannoy Reveal Actives for $900... as for the sound, its quite close competition between them- although the Tannoys are a steal considering their retail price down in Australia.

I'm looking at purchasing a pair of Yamaha NS 10 speakers, however I am confused at the difference between the Original NS 10M Speakers and the NS 10MS (Studio). I have read that the tweeter was replaced, with a more 'softer' sounding tweeter? Is the woofer still that same?

What do you feel is the better of the models? Any information on these speakers if greatly appreciated.

OK! I know are a million answers to this question and the right one is "listen to what your ears tell you". So I guess I am just trying to reassure my ears they are right!

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.
