I went looking for powered monitors today. I have about a 14x13 room and I have a full stack, a combo amp and all sorts of other gear in there and space is a major issue.
I just bought an adat system and want some suggestions/advice on some powered monitors. I am shying away from passives due to space limitations for a poweramp and also more$. My budget is around $300 for both monitors. I went to Guitar Center today and found that most of those powered m's are expensive! I really liked the way the yamaha msp5's sounded. Very clear and punchy. They were going for 225/each. The sales guy told me that he recommended the event ps6 or ps5's. They were powered but started at like $250/each.
I also heard some very great sounding fostex headphones but really didn't have the time to compare against others. They were $100. That is about the amount I have budgeted for headphones.
Any suggestions on any of this. I know alot of this is suggestive but I really would appreciate any feedback as to what you guys are using and happy with...bad experiences etc.
