I'm looking at getting a set of these;

They were recommended to me by someone who has a lot of experience with amps, guitars, recording, etc. and who worked int a guitar shop for 22 years. The person used to own a set and he said for the money, you can't beat them for the price. The reviews would seem to reflect that opinion as well.

If you do a search on many top monitors here, you'll find a slew of threads on this.

My personal favorites are the HS80's, they are the best bank for the buck I (personally) have found.

If the room is untreated, I recommend in this order:

1. Best Computer Speakers - Klipsch 2.1 Promedia Speakers
2. Equator D5 Coaxial Studio Monitors for Home or Studio. Active Nearfield Monitors.
3. Used vintage Yamaha NS10's.

I agree with the HS80's. They are great monitors for the price.

Seems like there are a lot of fans for the HS80s. I use a pair of Behringer reference monitors with a calibrated sub. it's pretty faithful to what my onstage FRFR rig will deliver, but I think all monitors have some idiosyncrasies.

I like the equator D5's a lot. Very transparent.

I recently acquired some Monoprice 5 monitors (mostly for mixing) and I'm really happy with their price/sound quality ratio. ($175 or so for the pair)

I just did a session with someone that has a pair of those equator D5s on his mixing desk. He is really pleased with them. I listened to the mix through them, and they sure seemed smooth.

Fluid Audio FX-8.
