Best monitors

[ujwl]

Anybody have suggestions for best entry-level monitors?

I'm looking for something $500 or less, as long as I can get something good enough for mixing on. There a lot of companies that claim to have accurate near-fields in this range, but I don't want to get something that really won't do the trick.

I'm want them for producing electronica/dance tracks.

Mackie 824's are my favorite for $1300 a pair! However, the Event TR8 sound just as good......almost the same for $499 a pair!

Haven't heard the events....but I was impressed by some Sampson Rubicon's recently. Very clear and transparent sound, maybe a little light on the bass, but not a problem for an average room.

These are great for dance music and you'd be hard pushed to find a better set for this kind of money.

I have been hearing goods thing about the ADAM A7 for mixing, they may be a little above budget but it is truly worth saving and buyin good monitors the first time so youare not spending another $800.00 in a years time.

All the best.

A7 with the Adam Sub10 here for doing Techouse. Very nice combination. and Got a pair of CMS65's myself, they are more or less perfect for my house and techno productions.
