I'm going to write this and then run for cover... but I can't resist letting you know that I recently A/B'd everything I could find in the $300-350 range (active and passive), and I chose the M-Audio BX5s because of their fine-tuning to adjust for room acoustics. Since my home studio has some size and sound challenges, these small monitors and this fine tuning really helped me to very subtly shape the sound, resulting in more transferable mixes (to other systems). I've very pleased with these speakers for their rpice and size and recommend them to anyone facing similar concerns. If you can afford larger or more expensive monitors, then maybe nothing I write will apply to you.
Of course, as others have written, nothing is more subjective than judging monitors, so don't trust me any more than you trust the rest here. You really need to listen if at all possible. If not, you might be happy that you have some fine tuning available
on your monitors, in case your room calls for it, as mine did.
Just my opinion after trying quite a few low-cost monitors. Now, it's time to run before the wonderfully opinionated folks here
begin to attack my flawed logic! ("Why the hell would you want to EQ your monitors? Don't you want 100% flat response?")
Ducking out,
J.
