The M-Audio LX4 is an excellent budget-conscious system. We use them on some of our smaller training tours. In a room of 12 x 12, they are just about perfect for reasonably good nearfield. Put the speaks on a set of Auralex MoPads, they really sing nicely.

Anyone have any impressions of the Behringer "Truth" 2031A's. See from their website there's an interesting looking matched sub, Truth 2029A on the way promised Q3. Gave a pair a non-critical listen at dealer the other day and they sounded pretty good.

just to add a little more confusion to the mix here:
My understanding was that most recording studio's had a pair of NS-10 monitors _in addition_ to their main monitors such as JBLs, Urei, or other accurate _expensive_ large monitors (typ. 10-12 in woofers). I have never heard of any serious studio that mixed exclusively on ns-10 monitors and, in fact, they were there to get an idea of what the mix would sound like on standard home audio gear (to be sure it would sound ok on a cheap stereo) and not really used for the main mixing tasks. I still have a pair of tascam 4406s (6in woofer) that I paid $450 back in '85 that made ns-10s sound like a boom box. I know a lot of "home studios" that used them (ns-10s) to mix stuff from their 4-track cassette machines... Again, I must say that DSE is spot on the money! just my 2 cents. Mark

Would these monitors you guys have been discussing, especially the M-Audio DX4s that look very nice, small, and in my prirce range, work for surround mixing as well by using three pairs and a subwoofer?
Thanks! Peter |

If you like the DX4, you might as well buy the LX4 kit consisting of 5 satellites and a sub. At a budget level, it's a very nice, very sweet sounding system for the bux. Nice in a small room, definitely.

Well, wound up going with the BX5's after falling in love with them at first sound! Absolutely beautiful speakers. The store will give me a deal on 3 more + a sub when I'm ready to up to 5.1. Already my CD mixes sound better just by being able to hear them so clearly.
