You might want to audition some offerings from Dynaudio as well. I've been happy with the BM6A (mkI), which I believe have been recently discontinued.

These are superb and you can get a pair for under £500.

They used to cost loads more, but M-Audio are discontinuing them, so prices have been hugely slashed...

I'll check them out! I love the part where you said they're under £500 :p

Stretch the budget to AE22? Or get the passives for just under your budget. Best monitors under £1000 (apart from if you're interested in specialist things like Avantones or Focal 40s).

Mannnnnn, I'm trying to lower the budget if possible. I hate buying budget, I love expensive stuff it's always better :p

But I've gotta eat for the next 4 months so I've got to be careful!

Thanks for the recommendation though

JBL LSR or Equator are worth a listen.... I REALLY like the newest LSR range

Anyone compared the Genelec 8030s and KRK VXT6s? They both fall within size, budget and get good reviews.

Can't find anywhere that will demo Monitors in Cardiff, only HiFi shops :L

Nip round to Bristol PMT?

[JamesClark1991]

Bit of a mission just to test some monitors. Especially as I don't own a car :p

But thanks for your suggestion! If I'm Bristol before Christmas by chance I'll know where to look

The other ones I like the sound of are the focal cms40. Yes I know they are lacking in low end but the mid range is really informative. Like aura tones on steroids. I'm getting a pair for home use to do edits etc....
