QUOTE (Chris C.L @ Jan 25 2006, 10:55) I have the studiophile Bx5's by m-audio. There not genelic quality but still sound great. I think they are great value for money and seen them rated quite highly in a mag review. I've still not hear a single monitor from M-Audio and Edirol (forgot these) sounding good (muddy is more the idea), I reserve my opinion on the last EX66 I have still not heard. IMHO  About mags, i'd be cautious, it's your ears that counts, not specs or the taste of others. If you can do good stuff on yours it's fine  But never trust the advice of someone on a single model save if he can work with it, and certainly not reviews  Hamish, select a few, and have a listening test at a shop if you can with things you've done (if you have) or CD tracks you like and in different styles, not only the one you're interested into (for example, have some live instruments, acoustic guitar, voice not too effected, along with stuff you like, and other styles if you're into Trance). Take the one you like the most but which is the most _revealing_ (this is important) of the mix (stereo, depth, transients). On the list above I gave my opinion, let's build yours (yes Rickenbacker, on my own, I'd kill for Adam or Dynaudio, got to listen Focal one day too)(My owns are Mackie HR824 at the moment)
