Both companies stress accuracy and are around the same size as most monitors and can sometimes be found used for a good price. Some people will recommend higher priced brands like dynaudio and Usher which are amazing speakers but are expensive. I have a neighbor that has a mac based studio in his house and he uses MA audio monitors and if you are sitting within their operating field normally around 4' or less they sound very smooth and detailed and are not to bad on the wallet. have fun searching and if you need any help you know we will be here.
I'll keep those things in mind. Compared to what I am using right now anything is better. I'm afraid though I'll have to find my speakers at thrifty prices. That Sony receiver I mentioned my brother got for cheap at either a thrift store or local auction is worth a pretty penny. now even if one doesn't think highly of it, others do. There for you find one of those(Ha!), sell it, and then buy say an Adams or something. I love these vintage speakers and equipment for their warm feel. I like the music they were intended for as well. I just can't afford to keep them. Today I'm going to find some AR3's in mint condition and then I'll be cooking
