200-300$ monitor recommendations?
« on: December 05, 2006, 12:39:00 PM »
Time to update speakers from my shitty computer speaks.  ::)

Have a small budget of about 200-300 for some "decent" desk monitors.  Any suggestions?
Saw some Rolands on ebay for about 150.

also.  any advices on a decent tuner to drive the speakers or should I get a good soundcard for the computer?

The Listening room will be a standard office  12' by 12'.

Thank you for any advice.

I am somewhat satisfied w/ my M-Audio Studio Pro 3s for monitoring, They are kinda lifeless though and under powered.

Great for tracking and background listening

The Swans M200 have gotten great reviews, I got a pair a few months ago but yet to bring them home to fire them up

So let me see if I got that.....you bought some new speakers, you own them, it's been a few months, and you have yet to listen to them???

Wow.

I'm......impressed, I think.

M-audio Studio Pro 4.  Relatively flat repsonse (not always a good thing but will certainly be better than what you have), small, looks pretty good.  Affordable as well.
