[diss85]

hi guys,need some help deciding! im new to monitors and have the options of these 2 from 1 of my friends for £200 for either,i will be recording metal/rock/ hip hop through a fast track2 with midi keyboard and guitars with some vocals, need some advice pls,i know the mackies have better bass cause of the size,but also their rear ported so cant be up against a wall,how far away do they have to be? the rockits on the other hand,is the bass good? without a sub?
my room is about 4x5 meters and untreated at moment but will be sorted out when funds allow,just want to ge my equipment together and dont think i will get either at this price again.
thanks

The Mackies may be better for you being that they are 8" speakers with the music that your generating.
