Sup guys?

Well, i'm making music for quite long time , because of time problem i couldn't be able to do something about making it in more professional way, so im deciding only now to buy monitors, now i don't really know what kind is better and if it's gonna work with my Sound Card.ofcourse i need good alternative for sound work :).

So here it is:

i own ESI Juli@ Sound Card...

My options for monitors are:

Behringer B1031A
KRK rp5(Rokit 5)
M-audio BX5ad
Tannoy Reveal 501A

5' is enough, i'm working in a small room.

Thank you in Advance, every answer is welcome :).

What monitors you should get is up to you. Everyone has their own opinion of what's best.

I have a pair of M-Audio Studiopro 3's. Inexpensive, but the bass isn't the best so I switch to my regular speakers/sub when I need to get a good feel for the low end.

Just pick some that are in your price range and have good reviews on MusiciansFriend/zzounds/sweetwater/whatever. If you can, see if you can test some out at a local music shop or buy from somewhere that you can get a refund if you ain't like 'em.

Well you should go and listen in a shop, it's a personal thing. And how small is the room? I would get bigger ones that can last you longer. Check reviews and listen.

btw I also have the juli@ and it shouldn't matter what monitors you use on it.

ow and there's already lots of threads about monitors to find if you use the search
