    Studio monitors aim to be very neutral - that is, have a very flat frequency response and represent a good "middle ground" for the
    average
    speaker. If yo

    Here's a good article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_monitor

    Ah, interesting.. Thanks for the reply and the link.

    Well a proper studio will have a set of near field monitors (no larger then a 6.5 woofer) and a set of far field monitors (12" woofers/ 3way cross
    over) Subwoofers are generally left out of a studio, since they can color your mix. I currently use only near fields in my production studio, I chose the Genelec 1029A : http://www.genelecusa.com/products/previous-models/1029a/

    They are a bit pricey, but I've had them for years.. Very nice once you get your ear dialed into them.

    I have heard the 1029a's were good but I found that I cannot get them since they are no longer in production. I am using KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 5In Powered Studio Monitors at the time and they do a decent job.

    You are right on with the info on near field monitors as the priority to go with.

    I can recommend the Tannoy Precision 8 monitors. We have been using them at our studio for a little over a year now. It took a while for my ears to make the transition from the Yamaha NS-10s, but I'm finally getting used to them. Much more accurate than the NS-10s, great design, and the concentric driver thing is very cool.

    I think they go down to 45-50 Hz or so on their own. For deep bass in hip-hop or electronic music you would probably want to couple them with a sub.

    Hi all -

    I've seen music stores sell studio monitor speakers such as these: http://www.gigasonic.com/images/medium_studiophilebx5adelux.jpg
    What is the advantage those have over more common speakers that people might use for their stereo or computer, etc.? Studio monitors seem to be more expensive.

    JBLs are the best for studio recording.
