I've got a pair of KRK V8 mark 1's for sale if you're interested.....


Yorkville YSM1-P will do the trick if you're on a limited budget.

Ive got some V8's myself. They were free. I dig em, although honestly, my opinion is no barometer of quality. Cuz Im such teh noob at doing any engineering... haha.

I bought Yamaha HS80 two months ago. I'm very happy with them. Dont know the exact size though

You looking for active or passive?

I have Tannoy Reveal passives, driven by an Alesis RA-100.
Def good enough for the Lo-Tec, home studio application.

I'd consider this as a "very low end" monitoring solution...

I love my Event PS8s. Great speakers for the money. Look into Event speakers in general, some of the best sounding stuff in the mid-price range.

Someday I will have Genelecs... someday......

How did you manage to get a pair of "Free" V8s ?

Tannoy Reveal Active 5's....love 'em. Have had 'em for 4 years or so. I've got a set of Yamaha MSP 5's too which are gathering dust on another continent. They weren't too bad, but I much prefer these puppes.

I'm using Event TR6s, and I love them. Event really does make great speakers for the cost.

I've got the mackies as well and they are very nice but a little hard to get real guiatr mixes on for me. they seem to by a little hyped up in the 250-350 range and then that is missing hard in the real world. I also have an AMAZING set of little speakers from a company calle EGO/SYS. they are tiny and get you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo close to the yamaha ns-10m type of vibe that they rule for mixing you can find them at B&H in new york and also sometimes on ebay. I paid 200usd for the pair and they are powered as well very cool I dig 'em

Love Curran

I use Esi near 05 active monitors, they are small and for the price they sound very good.

A "gift" Id guess you could call it. Old engineer buddy up and quit the scene one day, gave me all his old stuff.

KRK RP8, they sound good enough for me.

I use Esi near 05 active monitors, they are small and for the price they sound very good.

Are you using the "normal" Near05s or the Near05 Experience?
Both of them are quit cheap and I'm considering buying these. Anyone else tried them?

another vote for event. they are great for the cash.

I guess I should have mentioned, Event ASP-8's replaced my KRK's. They're fantastic to work with & my mixes have never sounded better. They also sound even better Soffit-Mounted!

Those are the monitors that I want to get later on down the road when I pay off my debt and get some other things like a nice JSX head!
