So I have moderate home studio that is set up in an L shape I have 2midi keyboards against one wall a laptop in the corner and my main mixing area with my studio monitors and big computer screen on the other wall.
Thing is, I love the monitors I have now M-Audio AV40 cheap but decent and I have learned to use them effectively over the past few years.
But here is what I am looking for help with, I don't like playing melody's and stuff on my keyboards and have the sound coming at me from the side, so I'm looking for a small set of cheap decent monitors to set up behind my keyboards
i have 3 options that I am looking into and I plan on ordering on monday,
First choice is Numark NPM5 Numark NPM5 Active Stereo DJ Studio Speaker System | eBay
Second option is Rockville ASM5 Rockville ASM5 5" 2 WAY 200W Active Powered USB Studio Monitor Speakers Pair | eBay
3rd option which would probably be best is a set of used KRK rokit 5 monitors with mo pads for $220
I have always hated KRK since I first saw a set of there speakers, but I've never heardnor owned a pair so I can't say they sound bad, I would rather not spend $220 and I'm leaning towards buying the refurbished Numark NPM5's
But before I make a decision does anyone have any other good options I could look into, or have any experience with the rockville's or the Numark's?
I don't really wanna go over $200 since I don't need a new monitor setup just something to set up behind my keyboards.
Thanks in advance!
