As far as i know thunder has absolutely nothing to do with that company and is just trying to help out the little guys, by giving them an affordable solution. Something i find myself doing over and over. Ok monitors aren't something you should be trying to save your money on. But if you have absolutely so way of saving the money for the more expensive monitors, or if you are just starting out and don't know a thing about recording, or if you're gonna even enjoy it, then these are a solution you may wish to look into. They would certainly be better than $70 headphones. I've just suggested a pair of £60 active monitors to my friend. They are definitely not the best monitors and only have 3" woofers, but all he will be using them for is vocals and guitar, so he doesn't need the best of the best, with the deepest bass and flatest frequency response. TravisinFlorida, what is your problem? You think you're some kind of big shot in homerecording.com, Ok you've been here for longer than i have and have posted and received a lot more rep than i have, but haven't you noticed that thunder has been here longer, posted less, but received A LOT more rep than yourself? He certainly helps out a bunch when you need it. You, on the other hand, are just looking for spammers! Homerecording detective? I don't think so. You've gotta be the worst detective there is!! Ok, we all know there are a bunch of spammers on here, but most of them just come on for a couple of days, spam like fuck then piss off. The rest of us come on for a bit of fun, to help and be helped when it comes to recording. Now, just lay off thunder. Ok, good day to you Travis.
