Best Monitors For A Powerbook Set Up, What kind of speakers are you using? Options

[TKNO1]

Want to know what other people are using for speakers with their Powerbook. Now I am meaning quality monitors. Not "Soundsticks " or anything in that range. Please let me know.. thanks

With reference as to what monitors to use for mixing I would like to add a bit of advice that may be useful. In my career I have had the pleasure of working with Mark (Spike) Stent in his studio based in Olympic studios in London. While there I noticed that he had the main output of his desk patchable to several different types of monitors and hi-fi systems. The monitors he had are out of reach to most of us mere mortals on account of cost, but the hi-fi he seemed to trust was a run-of-the-mill-all-in-one sony system.
My point being that I trust no one set of monitors to tell me everything I need to know about a mix and I have created a cut down version of what I observed. I would urge anyone to try it.
My studio is setup in a very small room but I have taken the time to link my desk to every other hi-fi and boom box in the house. Apart from allowing quick access to different systems it has the added benefit of helping you to change your listening environment, (small rooms get to you after a few hours).
I'm not saying that you can't create a good mix without doing this, only that it has improved the quality and consistency of my work far beyond what I would have thought possible.

All the best and a happy new year to all.
