I've seriously enjoyed reading the :
"A General Statement on the importance of great monitors"
and the many other convoluted monitor rants on this forum.

Hi everybody,

I already know that a good pair of monitors is the one that we're used to and can produce good mixes with, meaning the ones that you find detailed and well balanced no matter the device where you listen to them (Ex:crappy mono device, car stereo, home hifi, clubs, etc...) .

I'm looking to purchase some Yamaha msp5's based on my budget and a recent article/review from Kurt. They're on backorder now, so while I wait I'm just making sure that this is my best bet.

I'm using them for basic rock-type music (drums, bass, elect, acoustic, keyboard, organ, vox, etc).

Mr. Foster,

does anyone have any input on these monitors that i'm about to purchase? i'd like some individual feedback as there is only two reviews on these. granted they dont have much negatives to say.

input is greatly appreciated.

thanks ahead o' time,
jace

Hi Kurt,

As a MSP5 user myself, I happy to find a good review from you on this monitor.

I am pleasantly surprised as well for you to find them to be good in the low end response as well.

Care to share with me the room condition where you tested this monitors? How far apart where they and how loud did you tested out.
