I plan on buying a pair of JBL LSR305's. I've been debating between them, Yamaha HS5's and KRK Rokit 5 G3's for a while now. I still need to make my way over to the local music store and hear them first hand.
I know that the room acoustics are just as important as the equipment being played in it. The one thing I don't dig about the JBL's is their rear port. Is it true that they work best when place atleast 4' away from the wall (to minimize reflections)?
I'm not going to have much cash left over after this purchase so I'm looking for some suggestions on budget acoustic brands. I don't want to buy an inferior product just cuz it's cheap, but usually there's a company out there that competes with the big boys at a drastically lower price. I'm also considering building my own traps, etc. I'm definitely not opposed to using alternative materials with similar characteristics to the standard/more expensive stuff.
Thanks,
