Hi there, I'm in the market for some active studio monitors around the £300 mark, these will be used for general listening (when I can't use headphones for anti-social reasons), and for real studio monitoring and production work (I'm a Sound Engineering and Production student).
So far I've been looking at these:
Yamaha MSP5
Yamaha HS80M
Mackie MR5
KRK Rokit 6
Event TR6-E
Fostex PM0.5 MKII
I've only just decided to start shopping for monitors, so currently I don't really know where to start.
What I want/need:
Incredible detail (I'm used to Grado SR325i's)
Flattest response possible
Not too much power
They shouldn't need too much space, as they are going to be used in my small university accommodation room.
I'm just about to have a look at the specs of all the monitors mentioned above - as they are things I can understand. Tomorrow I'll be going to town to give some different monitors a go, so be sure to recommend me anything that I've missed and help me choose!
Thanks.
