Help with buying monitors

[Mendel]

I am ordering monitors next week.

There are three ones i am thinking about.
Any tips and recommendations are welcome because this is going to be my first pair of monitors and you guys have way more experience hen me.

KRK RP6
KRK RP8
Yamaha HS 80M.

Somehow my feeling goes out to the Yamaha.

Thanks for al the advice

Yammies. And where have you been?

Definitely the Yamahas. Also, I just got a pair of Mackie MR8s (similar price range) and I find them to be pretty accurate.

i had the Rp6 for 4 years, Krk `s are very good built monitors but 3 months ago i switched to Hs80 and i am very impressed with them.
For me these works better then the Rp`s and my recomendation is the Hs .( I like the multiple setting options on the back of the yummies.)
But i think you can`t go wrong with neither, you have to set them up right, use room threatement, and learn them.

Jonas Kjellgren from Scar Symmetry, owner of Black Lounge Studio it`s using the Rp 8 s ,with great results i say

But the lower price doesn't necessarily point to inferior sound from the previous version...well, I can see it may, but in that thread no one commented on how they sound.

Yeah, they're brand new, so I don't think anyone has heard them yet, I'm just apprehensive

I use passive monitors with a Yammy amp along with my actives, and I'd like to upgrade...I'm VERY curious to hear the 6P's. For 250 bones, that could very well be my next studio purchase.

Seeing as they're made in the UK and the price hasn't dropped much here, I don't think there's anything to worry about
