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.

Right now the Resolv 80a's are waaayy to boomy and flabby to get accurate mixes in my oddly shaped room. I'm ditching them for something smaller, more accurate and able to be revealing at low volumes.

I'd like to stay within $500-700 for active monitors. Nothing larger than a 6.5 inch driver.

i'm thinking about buying a second pair of speakers.
i'm thinking about either the Yamaha MSP5's or the MS80's
anyone ever used both, or have any opinions/suggestions/equasions?

thanks in advance

The Yamaha Msp 5 ... i hear it is not sold anymore..

IS it true..

IF yes..Is there anything else of the same quality for a similar price ?

Peace

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.

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.

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,
