# ah - I'm after a pair of not shit ones that are relatively small

# What sorta price and spec you looking at?
Are you looking for speakon, jack or barewire.

# dunno - just a reasonably priced pair of small active nearfield
I'm not forking out 3 grand for a pair but I don't want to get a cheap pair that'll be shit

# You could get a nice pair of resonably priced Mackies for a couple of hundred.
What size is the room and how much are you willing to pay?
Aditionally are you walls treated?

# it's a tiny cubicle type thing, only about 1.5m wide
which is why I'm not going to fork out for top end monitors cos it would be a waste

no treatment on the walls - two are brick and the other is just a stud wall

# To be honest I don't think what you get will make much of a difference.
With the size of that area with or without treatment the colourisation is going to me immense!
I think if you're EQing or mastering something then you'll need to use a decent pair of cans and then listen it afterwards on your HIFI.

# ahhh ok, that might be better
I seem to have a mistrust of EQing/mastering on headphones though

# Yeah it's basically a sterile way of doing it.
But if you are EQing etc anyway you have to bare in mind thatpeople will be listening to it on difference outputs annyway so you should check it on phones, hifis as well.

not in a sexual way, but because of the bomb.

did the world move for you or were you blissfully unaware until you were told to leave the building?
