Studio monitors aim to be very neutral - that is, have a very flat frequency response and represent a good "middle ground" for the average speaker. If yo

Well a proper studio will have a set of near field monitors (no larger then a 6.5 woofer) and a set of far field monitors (12" woofers/ 3way cross
over) Subwoofers are generally left out of a studio, since they can color your mix. I currently use only near fields in my production studio, I chose the Genelec 1029A : http://www.genelecusa.com/products/previous-models/1029a/
They are a bit pricey, but I've had them for years.. Very nice once you get your ear dialed into them.

I have heard the 1029a's were good but I found that I cannot get them since they are no longer in production. I am using KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 5In Powered Studio Monitors at the time and they do a decent job.
You are right on with the info on near field monitors as the priority to go with.

I can recommend the Tannoy Precision 8 monitors. We have been using them at more accurate than the NS-10s, great design, and the concentric driver thin
Any need for a separate sub with t
he Tannoy's? Or do they deliver ample bass frequency response on their owm? mouse.
Hi all -
I've seen music stores sell studio monitor speakers such as these: http://www.gigasonic.com/images/medium_studiophilebx5adelux.jpg
What is the advantage those have over more common speakers that people might use for their stereo or computer, etc.? Studio monitors seem to be more expensive.
