Which Monitor?

[Xtasy03]

Hello again everone. Yes it's me again. looking for your excellent opinions. This time my question is easier...hopefully. Which monitor seems to be the one to get? All my other gear is now taken care of, but I still dont have a clue on monitors. Thanks again.

Budget and ears.

The best thing to do is research and listen. Go to a local shop armed with a few CDs you are familiar with and listen.

There are monitors to fit all budgets and you will see no shortage of reccomendations here. Some of the most popular (that I've seen talked about here):

Alesis Monitor 1 and 2
Event 20/20
Tannoy Reveal
Yamaha NS-10

You may want to consider looking back through the archives; there are tons of threads concerning monitors.

You said you're set on the rest of your gear, what did you get?

Thanks for your suggestions on which monitor would suit me best.As for the rest of my gear here is what I have to start with.
-Tascam 424 MK3, Sony PCM-R300 DAT deck, FMR Audio compressor, Alesis MIcrolimiter, Alesis Quadraverb 2, Shure SM57, and Rean RPM48S Patchbay. I was going to get a NS-50 NOise supressor, but it already has been purchased. Any suggesteions on those? Almost all of these I have gotten at fai prices. Thanks
