I am on a very low budget approx £300 and I need monitors. What can anyone recommend? Active, or an Amp and monitors. Please help!

BM6A are rock solid (can't compare with other monitors not enough experience and it was not the place for close moitoring) but we feed them with huge modulars synths at last Frankfurt Musikmesse, and only once did we managed to clip in a week.
And we were very very bad with them.

If they are leakproof too… wink.gif

btw add9 you can call me LPM for short wub.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Also, the Genelec tutorial (they changed it and I don't have had a look to the new version) was extensive onto placement, DO try, there's theory and there's your room, begin with a theory placement then mess a bit around. Sometimes a few inches make huge differences, I had the exemple in the home studio a guy I know. 4-8" were the difference between mud and emphasys on bass and something much more clear and usable.

(beware, Presto is a BM6A fanatic tongue.gif biggrin.gif cool.gif
