Space.

I don't think there is such a thing...

Maybe some used M-Audio monitors...

300$ or less???

300$ or less???

That sounds like a good down payment

300$ or less???

You can get monitors for $300... "Good", though, is subjective.

I was told to use crappy computer speakers... if you can make something sound good on those, then you're golden...

Save up a bit for some better monitors... I jumped too soon and bought a used pair of M-Audio... My Mixes do not translate well... anywhere.

I own the M-audio bx5a's, they are alright and for around 200-300 a pair (ebay or online store) you really cant go wrong. They wont sound like a pair of Genelecs but they'll get the job done. I am upgrading,hopefully soon, to a pair of JBL LSR4328's which should be sick.

What do you think about these:

[deathtotaliban]

a lot of people like the KRK's, i think they are really pretty dark sounding, unless you can get the 8" driver then they are pretty good

 

[felipe-x]

Avantone MixCubes. I know that it isn't recommended to mix on them exclusively, but I recently have and get better translation than I have with ANY other monitor. They tell you exactly how your music will sound in a car or on a tv. I turn on my sub to fill in the low end and mix away.

There is something to be said about a crossover-less "full range" driver. No holes or smearing at crossover points because there aren't any crossovers. That is one of the biggest problems with budget monitors...shitty crossover and power amp design.

I found these. What do you think?

I have the SP-5B's... they tend to not translate my mixes very well... they flatter too much... not very true.

A used (ebay) pair of Tannoy Reveals are decent monitors in your price range.
