I'm looking to buy my first set of studio monitors and I've narrowed it to M-Audio BX5, Yamaha HS 50, Alesis M1 Active 520, or Behringer Studio 50USB. I'm happy to consider other options but the reason I've picked these is because they're all widely available online for under £150 and that's about as far as my budget will stretch.
Obviously I'm not expecting professional, studio standard quality and there most likely wouldn't be a massive difference between monitors in that price range but as I'll be buying online, I won't have an opportunity to test anything so I was wondering if anybody who has some experience with any of these monitors could tell me what the differences are and which would suit me best?
I'll be using them mostly for reference when mixing (indie/rock/alternative) alongside my headphones so I'd like quite a flat frequency response with as extended a range as possible (around 55hz-20hz should be fine).
Thanks!
