I’ve wanted a pair of studio monitor speakers for ages. No real studio would be complete without a nice pair of studio monitor speakers. Not that I have a real studio, but I would like to produce professional sounding results.
The average joe would think that someone would be crazy to spend over three hundred dollars on what look like a pair of bookshelf speakers. What they don’t understand is that three hundred is a good sale price something like this.
You see, normal home audio speakers typically feature enhanced low and high frequency response. This makes the music sound ‘good’. But when you are mixing music, you want to know what the audio actually sounds like, not how it sounds through a certain pair of speakers. The advantage to mixing music on a pair of studio monitors that have an absolutely flat response curve is that what you’re hearing is how the music really sounds. This means that if it sounds good on your monitors, it is likely to sound it’s best on any sound system.
The speakers you see above are Behringer TRUTH active studio monitors. They have built in amplifiers so that you don’t have to buy a special studio amplifier to run your nice new studio monitor speakers. That’s right, your amplifier might not be producing flat audio either. I’d like to buy these speakers, but I just can’t buy frivolous things at the moment. My financial situation won’t allow it. Plus my wife would be kind of upset since I just borrowed a hundred bucks from her for car tires.

These things really are worth the money for sure! What you might want to get instead (if these are above your budget) are the KRK Rokit speakers. They are currently selling em cheap at musicians friend, really wicked red models. I got a guy from the US to order em for me ^^
I consider these one of the worst studio monitors on the market. If you value your mixes, save up some money and buy active studio monitors which will make your mixes sound better on other systems. Not these, avoid like plague!
