i have to say KRK (6's, not 8's I'm not as big on the 8's plus I sit like half a meter or so from the speakers)... price is good for the sound. Translation is really solid too - and thats what counts.

M1 Active MK2 are great monitors for their price.
Guess why they are still produced by alesis?

Some friends of mine use them and their mixes translate well to my Genelecs 8050.

thanks, i guess i`ll go with them, after all if there are flaws in this area the labes master the track in the end, not that this is to be taken for granted, i still want my tracks to sound as good as any other good productions,but i`ll use them at home, this is not a choice for a studio, thanks again!

They may not be the best sounding speakers (bass is a bit boomy) but there are no real flaws.

alesis MK2 monitors are craps.

too much noisy bass, horrible.

Just go to a store , bring a cd with musics that you know well and ask a guy to switch between alesis and other stuff, you will be

Best are dynaudio BM serie I think, but a little expensive (better than genelec to me).

KRK's are good (I have , and I'd like to buy alesis before I heard the comparative) and not so expensive.

Adam's stuff is good also.

Best

+1

go for dynaudio BM 5 or 6, active or passive(+ A1802 Audio Power Amplifier from Bozo, the yellow one)

and your problem is solved

cheers

You can't compare cheap speakers like Alesis with stuff like Dynaudio, Genelec and Adam.

Anyway monitor speakers are a personal choice: my suggestion is to bring with you a cd with some of your mixes and choose the speakers that reveal more flaws in the mixing process.
