M Audio Studio Pro 3

[TelePaul]

Anybody heard of/used these? They're so cheap and have been getting pretty good reviews! I currently don't have a dedicated set of studio monitors. Any thoughts?

claimed frequency response is 100 hz to 20k hz. you'll have a hard time working with low frequencies if you can't hear them.

Thanks Travis. I know very little about studio moniotrs...at what oint is a sub woofer necessary?

 

[travelin travis]

it's subjective but i'd look for a 2 way set or 2 way set + sub that gets down to 50 hz at least.

Looks like a good deal for some low budget monitors. If the frequency response is close to what they claim (45-22k +/- 3db), those would probably work out great for the money.
