Good post.leecurtiss wrote:my friend just got the $400 active KRKs and they sound awesome. i also use the alesis mach 1s and they have been very good to me. however, i would have to say that they leave something to be desired in the low mid range. also while shopping, keep in mind that the purpose of a studio monitor is a flat reference, they are not supposed to make your music sound better but to give you a completely accurate reflection of your music. good luck.
I'm in the market myself for new speakers. I don't have a lot of money to dish out. for me over $500 would be too much at this time.
I think they are under $500 from what I remember.
alesis mach 1's. Heard them, like them, and may buy them in the near future.
