Default monitor question?

Hello

I have a small amount of money and i want to buy a pair of monitors
I was going for the NS 10s but they are discontinued
Is anyone using the yamaha MS-p5 or have heard anything about them?
thanks for your help

Dimitris

After some research and looking around for a bit, I bought a part of second hand NS-10M Studio. If you don't have much money like me, that's the method [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Unless you are already a NS-10 mixer, stay away from them.
They are not as prominate as they use to be and are far from a standard anymore.
Most places that still have them don't really use them it that they were already there.
The M1 mkII was a good suggestion as long as your room isn't to funky. To me they tend to make things seem bass heavy in a poorly tuned room.
What ever monitor you decide on will benefit from the correct usage of some Auralex.

The Tannoy Proto J speakers are an excellent price for what you get. Just under $300 Canadian and are very good for the money.

Compare the Yamaha MSP5's with the others in that price range before you buy.

I myself have a pair of tannoy reveal monitors. The unpowered ones....and i love them..

They should be around $350 i guess. The also have powered reveals, and they should run around $800.
