I would make the point that familiarity with your monitors is as important (if
not more so) as their supposed quality. With any studio setup you should play
as wide a variety of commercially produced music as possible so that you
become familiar with the quirks more-or-less at a subconscious level. Your own
mixes will then come out much better when played on other equipment.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Thanks for the tip - I think your right, a simpler design is going to be
more rewarding given the sheer time and effort involved.
Cheers,
Brendan Has anyone here done this and is it possible to
do this oneself? Some
plans/specifications would go a long way (or should I not bother)
What I'm looking at is something similar to the yamaha HSM80's or the
Adam A7's
I'm no expert, but after reading Mike Senior's "Mixing Secrets", I
would
like to share a couple of suggestions:
- Avoid ported designs. They're always affected by some amount of
ringing ad unevenness in the bass response. Only the most expensive
commercial models manage to minimize such problems. So, that's my guess,
a closed box design should be safer for a DIY project.
- Google for "Auratone 5C": they should be the easiest studio monitors
to clone (single driver, no hi-fi at all), and a very useful tool in
your studio even when you already have "real", good monitors.
