Monitor speakers and room size... a disheartening dilemma!

I'm putting together a bedroom studio and was at first thinking about getting the KRK V6 MKII's for my near field monitors new at guitar center... Then I saw that I could get a set of legendary Mackie HR-824's used on ebay for about the same price ($700 range). My main reservation is that my room might be too small for speakers of this size.

Live Sound: Starting with Room Demensions MATH/Software

Did a search and did not find this so here goes.
Instead of starting with equipment, would like to start with a room and do the math or use software to determine how much wattage to put in it to obtain a certain dB.

Anyone know where to start to get there?
Room is approx 100x60x20.
Standard sheetrock walls.
Carpeted Floors

Thanks,

Micing room for stereo, need some advice on mics!

I own a venue and I am recording the shows right now by tracking each instrument. Its working, just too much bleed to get that great recording. The room sounds amazing so I want to record the stage area and the mix that with the vocals. Im looking at these two mics..just kinda wanted to see if anyone on here has anything bad or good to say about these two mics.

Headamp in Recording Room ?

Hello there :-)

Just finishing the plans for a new studio and wondering about something :

What is your personal opinion ? as the recording engineer, better to put headamp in control room to change the level myselffor the musician, or to put headamp in recording room and let the musician change the level himself ? What are your experiences ?

Greetz,
