Alesis Monitor one's or Yamaha NS10MS?

[ChildProdigy]

The Yamaha's sell for about $50 more so I was just wondering if I'd be better off spending the extra money? I will be powering them with an older ADA 100 wattx2 power amp, will this be adequate? BTW, mostly recording harder alternative music, digitally through my computer.

To give you a quick answer, Yamaha NS10s. If I have more time, I will let you know why later... there are good reasons.

Go with the NS10's. The Monitor 1 sounds very muddy while the NS10 is the industry standad flat near field monitor. There is no comparison here.

Here is a quick reason. Monitor One's make great stereo speakers (not accurate sound reproduction) but NS-10's make good refference monitors (very accurate)

Well then Yamaha's it is. Thanks guys. K, one more, I bought an alesis gt condenser, and I'd like one more as to have two good room mics for micing up the kit. Rode Nt1 or AKG C3000? For $200 I don't think I can pass up the Rode.

I think everyone would agree on the Rode, though I have only used the AKG, I liked it a lot. But, the Rode is very well liked around these parts...
