Good Cheap Powered Studio Moniters

[G&Legacy]

I am looking into getting some moniters for my computer: recording, listening to music and playing with the M-Audio black box. I was looking at the M-Audio Studiophile DX4s. This is my price range ($150). Are these worth it and would anyone recommend something else similar (powered and withing $200 bucks)?

If you can pull it the KRK Rokit series just can't be beat for the budget range.

+1. good studio monitors usually don't come very cheap, but you can't beat the rokits for the price.

In addition to the others mentioned nEar 05's about 200.00 if you can find them.

i recently bought a set of Event TR5's

active monitors, for which i paid roughly 450 for the set.

clear sound, bone crushing loud (well.. not that loud, but if it's on 100% you cant listen for long cos it makes your ears hurt)

IMO, it's better to pay a bit extra for quality, than get something cheaper for the time being. i know mine arent top of the line, but they play amazingly well

i have the RokIt 5's. They are definitely worth the price.

This is very good advice . . . especially when buying audio gear. Take some time and look for somthing that's really nice and you'll be happy with it for a long time.
