studio monitors

[zzangsoo]

Hi, all.
I have a question about studio monitor.
I have been monitoring with my headphone(sony MDR-7506), and my friend told me that monitoring with headphone is less accurate than studio monitor speakers. is it true?
if so, which studio monitors would you recommend?($500~700)

thanks

So, simply using headphones is never gonna be 'accurate', nor will using just monitors without headphones. You have a great set of cans right there (I hope you're of the male gender as you read this [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]), all you need now is some decent monitors.
Given your price range, I'd look into
-Event PS6 or PS8
-Alesis M1 actives
-Tannoy Reveal
-Behringer Truth
-Yamaha MSP10

good luck and trust your ears...

Event 20/20's with a Hafler TA-1100 makes a GREAT combo.

Event 20/20 BAS ( the bi-amplified self powered version of the 20/20. Sound great for me.

I use event PS8's and am very happy! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

You´ll also want to look into a Genelec 1029´s + a 1091 sub combo. Or a pair of 1030´s. Slightly more costly ( sorry, I don´t know the US prices, but close to Event 20/20bas´s ), a very nice sound indeed...

Event 20/20 BAS

Im using a pair of alisis point sevens with a seperate power amp. I am very happy with them. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

My friend has a pair of Yamaha MSP5's, they sound pretty real to me.

I use Tannoy Reveal Actives. The imaging on them is beautiful and i find them very non-fatiguing.
