Budget passive monitors

[c9-2001]

Ok, yall.. I need to get a pair of decent passive monitors by the end of the week….
we will be on a tight budget, but we’ll also be getting some nice active monitors in 6-8weeks.

the budget is $300
so with that budget what type of monitors would you get that are clean for producing hiphop and r&b?
I plan on going to pick the monitors up locally…so…right now the only monitors I can think of:
Event 20/20
(I find them to be a little harsh in the high end, other than that not bad for $300)

Event TR5-N
(never used them)

Krk K-rok
(by looking at the website they don’t have any bass response, I’ve never used them)

What else that I may be able to by locally in Atlanta?

Stay away from those!

I've got a recording mate who just dumped a pair of them for that reason. Spend $400 and get a pair of Behringer truth monitors. I'm not at all big on the "B" brand but those monitors are a steal at that price.

yea, as of now the budget is $400 for the truths or maybe $500 for the Event Tr8-n's...
i've used truths before and i know i can get nice mixes with them.. and if not.. hey i'ma buy local so i can take them back and get something else...
