Best,

Buy what I just bought: JBL LSR4306 in 5.1. I haven't received them yet, so no first hand reports, but I'm excited to get them.

How much exactly is "not too expensive" ?

There a lots of different low priced monitors and the quality is getting better and better. I have a sub in my system, but if you are doing mostly VSL stuff, you may not need one (I do pop stuff also). I would suggest burning some of your mixes onto a CD and taking that to a dealer and listen to it on lots of models. You will probably fall in love with a maker who's product corresponds to how you hear. All best

Yes you do...if you get your low-end wrong (very easily done) the whole theater may be BOOMING because of low HZ standing waves that you din't nuke in the EQ because you never heard them since you don't have a sub. SvK

I´m using different types of genelec monitors in different studios that I work in (1031, 1032, 8030), at home I use the 1029 with a sub and that works fine for me. Two or three years ago I was testing Blue Sky-monitors (two systems, one the size of the 1029s, one the size of the 1031a) for a magazine. Very good quality for the money.

Thanks to you all for your helpful responses. I think of buying a sythem with a sub.. I know the problem with the basses in the theatre allready... hope that will help. So once again: Thanks to you al. All the best, Stephan Kanyar

Earthworks Sigma with Bryston power amp- they're peerless in my opinion.
