What would you recommend to get for studio monitors in the $300 range? This
for home studio in office that is not set up with acoustic walls or
anything. Just drywall and furniture. I would like to set them up on stands
at about ear height and would be within a couple feet of me. These could be
used and Ebay available.

Should I get active monitores bi-amped etc. Or is it ok just to use my amp
to drive some decent passive ones?

Event 2020, Beringher Truth, Alesis are some of the names that pop up and I
guess are low end makers.

Appreciate any inputs!
thanks!

Thats a good point. After looking at my workspace, my PC is in a corner and
I dont have that much room for midsize or book shelf size monitors on either
side of it or to place reasonably so I can work and listen without have to
move my listening position. . So I started looking at mini size. M-Audio has
the DX4 (8.5h x 5.75W x 6.25d) which is biamped and small for $150. Also
there is the larger BX5 for $300 which is larger then DX4 but still smaller
then all other bookshelves in that price range. Its 9.85h x 6.5w x 8d. That
is just about the limit is size so fit reasonably on either side of by PC
Display so that I can work and listen without turning my head.

any experience with those monitors?

thx
