New album from Nadir Eclipse, "Frozen In A Twilight Hell" available now! NADIR ECLIPSE is the sole creation and aural abomination of Vorn, and all music is written, recorded, raped, mixed, and mastered at his own studio (AKA: "The Gears") located somewhere in the (sometimes) frigid Northeast...

Well...FWIW, I thought the BX8's we're a little bit more clearer, and hi-fi sounding. Close though. But I ultimately chose the BX8's over the KRK's. Both are excellent though, for the price, it seems.

I got a bass trap right behind them. I also have the pads that came w/ the monitors under them, but there very thin...I may set up something more substantial between them and the desk

Well....after some deliberation, and comparing, I got me a set of M-Audio BX8A Deluxes' So far, these are way better than what I was expecting. Good stuff...and surprisingly loud too...way more so than I'll need for these purposes. But nothin' wrong with that. I even got'em to throw in a...

I just read up on those...seem pretty sweet....the low-freq response goes down to 37hz...so maybe I wouldn't need a sub with those? I used to work at my local GC, and the two main guys in pro-audio know me from than, and always help me out...so I'm hoping friday won't be an exception.

So, are the KRK's considered at least on par, if not better than M-Audio in terms of quality? As a side note, after reading through all this, more an more I'm thinking I'm gonna try and score a set w/ a sub of some sort as well. I play some pretty low-tuned, dark/doomy stuff....so accurate...

I'll keep them in mind....I really don't mind Behringer gear....I got one of those Model T1953 Tube mic pre's and it serves me quite well....I even use a Tube Ultra-Gain Mic200 to sweeten up and limit the direct out of my pre-amp to my soundcard (I use Impulses after that, as opposed to...

True...that's what I'm assuming...I need something that shows what I may be doing wrong (I've a feeling that may get ugly...but them's the breaks). Anything is a step up from what I'm doing now...which is playing back through my home stereo...which is a 500watt amp hooked upto two huge fridge...

Ah, duly noted! :kickass:

Hmmm...I'll make a note of that. If not possible though, would I be able to ADD a subwoofer at a later time if I feel it's needed? Maaaaaybe I can talk one of the guys down on price on a BX8, if you feel their a better option

Ah, cool....lotsa' input already! Thanx guys!!!! :rock: :kickass: So, right now it looks like a toss up between the Gen 2 KRK's and the M-Audio BX5a's. And some possible used options. I'm planning on going over to GC Friday and bringing a CD-R of some of my own material to actually...

I don't have a big budget....at all....even $350 is gonna be a stretch right now...but I need some decent reference monitors for doing my mixes. This is something that I've stupidly gone without for awhile now. But I'm currently working on a record I pln to market and sell, and would like to...

Ohhhh...this is some REALLY good stuff here! :rock:
