Monitors

murdererg	Date: July 27, 2009 @ 8:34 PM I have been researching/reading about $500ish pairs for well over a month now, and am still no closer to making a decision. Are all of the forums correct when they say that it really doesn\'t matter at that price level, and they are all about the same? I am leaning towards Tannoy Reveals, JBL LSR2325P, or the seemingly ubiquitous Mackie MR5s. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

This is what allows your mix to translate well across the board, rather than only sounding good on good speakers.

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: July 27, 2009 @ 9:18 PM you need to test LOTS - forget about DAW software and everything else, if the monitors are the weak link in your chain, you will never reach your full potential to sound good.
murdererg	Date: July 27, 2009 @ 9:42 PM Sounds like a plan. I have seen a lot of posts on other forums about taking your favorite disk down to Guitar Center and listening to a lot of them. Do you suggest that route also? And yeah, the monitors have been the last on the list for that very reason. I am starting to think that I will end up buying several pairs. I have been looking into room treatment in the meantime, since that also gets a lot of attention in this area.
