Hi list, I'm thinking about getting some decent monitoring for mycomputer. I read
good things about Bluesky mediadesk 2.1. $500 orless is what i'm looking at. The
Samson ribbon monitors also lookinteresting but bass-lacking. Basically I'm
interested in somethingaccurate and flat. I use low end a lot, but I don't like the
XTREMEBASS SUBZ you find in most consumer equipment.so what are you using, what for?
anything else I should know?

hello,
i've got the behringer truth b2030a connected to my roland xv-2020
sound module. I'm using them to play jazz piano and/or simple
arrangements (drums, bass, piano, strings). I especially like the way
they render acoustic patches (jazz drum kit, pianos, upright bass...).

Like anything sound wise, try and hear all you can, then when you chose
sit and listen to them then listen some more.
I haven't used my sub yet as this will take time to setup correctly, but
I play back all my stuff on my Hifi with the sub and haven't had any
bass problems so far.

Count me in on liking the Behringer Trust active monitors. I've got the
ones with the 8" woofer and have them on a set of Auralex foam wedges to
isolate them.
I find that I either really like Behringer gear or really dislike it.
I've got a mic preamp I despise (the T1953) but like my mixer well
enough (no digital effects on it) and like these monitors quite a bit.
I can play the music from the computer through the Behringers, and/or
through Klipsch speakers with a Sony amp for a more traditional home
stereo sound.

Same here I have the Tube utragain which I find a touch noisy.
Thing is Behringer does so much stuff.
The DDX3216 is trice the mixer of most sub £1000 mixers, just in
flexibility alone.
Now that the price is at £399 I don't think there is anything to compare
in that range.
As a Live sound balance engineer I love the Soundcraft stuff, but for
Digital at the moment ( and the Bank balance!) Behringer is the way to go.

Of course listening to some speaker yourself is the only way to really
find out what suits you. The ~500$ range of speakers is very
competitive. There are a lot of models to choose, so you may have to
do a lot of hearing. Personally I chose the Tapco S-8 [1], because I
also like to hear the low end clearly. I like these speakers a lot
now, that I have them for about one year. However actually they may even
be a bit too big for my room, maybe the S-6 would have been
sufficient, as well. ;)
Other nice speakers in that range include the Event line, the
KRK Rokit speakers, Fostex etc.

Recently (about four weeks ago) I bought a pair of alesis mk II active
which I really like. But I am just getting into homerecording and
mastering...

Hi,
I'm using NHT Pro A-10's. They are not bass heavy at all. I'm told
they are fairly accurate, and I liked them a lot when I first got them
3 years ago, but over time I've decided that they are decidedly
non-musical. I think they'd work better in a pure mastering
environment, albeit a somewhat low end mastering environment. I must
say that I really don't enjoy non-critical listening on them nearly as
much as my stereo which is a Thiel setup.
The units originally cost something like $1100 or so. I got them on
closeout at Zzounds (IIRC) for about $375, amp included.
Choose carefully and then enjoy.

Cool!
I was given a pair of Alesis M1 Active MkIIs for Christmas, which I have
just unwrapped (I was at the other end of the country until last night)!
Now I just have to go out and buy some cable, and some XLR and Speakon
plugs...
I've heard two pairs of these speakers before, and I think they are very
good value for money.

Michael
