Sony bookshelf system. Now that I have a MPC I am thinking of going with some KRK G2's, or maybe the HS50s if I can afford them.
 
Production = Yamaha HS80M
Rehearsal = Yamaha S5115HT

If you already using Sony's with a good amp, trust me, unless you're at leats going with RP8s, you'll get more bang for buck and better quality out of Passive KRKs. ST6s run like $200 a Pair, ST8s well under $400 if memory serves me correctly.

I'm getting some ST8s myself in the very short future.

Okay so I decided to go with the Yamaha Monitors but now I'm stuck on getting the HS50M or the HS80M, it is $120 difference but my engineer told me to go with the 80 instead of the 50 to just get it right the first time. Any suggestions on either??? I'm confused...
 
pair of EVENT TR8, Pair of some speakers for 100$ from source, and a boombox

Simple answer. 5 inch woofers aren't wide enough to properly distribute low end sound. 6.5s give a remarkable difference from 5s, and once you get into 8s, it all begins to make sense.

I'd recommend 8inch speakers that came with a aiwa system from Wal-Mart over what people call "top of the line 5 inch monitors". But this is left to opinion, not saying they're factually better, just saying what works best for me.

But if you talking the same manufactured model...the bigger the woofer the better the dynamics, 100% fact.
