Save another 500 bucks and get the Mackies HR824, for the price you can't beat it.

300-500 dollar monitors sound to tinny and lack bass. Waste of money.

Dynadudio BM6's are pretty close to that range and whip the Mackies if you ask me.

Dog, I like this site, but I should mention that I've sometimes noticed a lack of audience analysis here. Some folks are pros while others are hobbyists, and the equipment sought by each group can differ greatly. Keep this in mind while reading posts.

My point is this: for serious hobbyists, like me, there are very some good monitor choices in the $300-500 range. M-Audio, Event, Tapco, and Behringer, for instance, all make decent monitors for recording non-pro CDS that still sound excellent, overall. I use them and produce good, clean recordings in my home studio, and when I want more quality, as I sometimes do,
I use a pro studio in town.

If, on the other hand, you plan to produce pro recordings for pro use, then you might want to upgrade your entire system and save enough money to do so. It seems to me from your post, though, that you're not in this group.

Otherwise, just try to get out there and hear some of the choices in your range, or do what I do: buy a few sets of competing brands and compare/contast them in your own home. Return what you don't need, and chalk up the small shipping charge
to a better final decision.

Good luck,

J.
 
Excellent, I will do just that. That way I can really here first hand how they sound in my room compared to a guitar store. Also they will be for semi pro recordings just to get the point across,thanks for all your help, this site is awesome.

Has anyone had experience with Samson monitors I am looking at the 85a or the 65a
 
Havent tried them - but thats prolly because Id never want to. Id personally stay away. But if you listen to them, and like what you hear - being a neutral sound - go for it.
