Iām working with the KRKās Rokit 6 for a while now. They realy do a great job for their price.
If youāre on a budget check out PreSonus Eris E5 for a small room, they have great reviews. Later you can add on the 8" Tremblor sub for some bass frequencies, (can never have enough bass no?).

Hi Folks, thanks for all the repliesā¦ after reading several reviews and taking into consideration everyoneās input here I decided to go with a set of Yamaha HS5āsā¦ from what Iāve heard from them so far theyāre pretty good! I wanted something that I could control the bass on and that wasnāt too bass heavyā¦ these seem to focus more on mid range to highs and have DB Control switches on the back to adjust these to your room size.
The highs are really crisp and clear, stuff like chimes, bells etc come through really well, and the bass is great, not too much to overkill a trackā¦ but enough to give it nice depth.
I basically wanted something for making film type music on, so these seem fine to start off with.
I also got them as a bundle off Music Matter UK and got some free cables and isolation pads with themā¦ so Iām pretty happy!
Thanks again for the help folks!!
Check these out āpresonus eris e4.5ā a small affordable beast!
Iām using krk vtx6, Yamaha ns10m and Iām looking for the new auratone soundcubesā¦ In a small room with discrete acoustic treatment ā¦ 3 years ago I used a pair of Yamaha msp5, but the Vtx6 are another planet (and another price also). The ns10 with vrx6 are a good reference for me
For the second room Iām looking for a pair of Yamaha hs5
I had KRK Rokit 5ās for awhile and IMO they really over-accentuate the bass and give a āfeel-goodā sound that doesnāt translate very well to other systems.
I recently upgraded to Yamaha HS8ās and while they are nowhere near as flattering, they give a much more accurate representation of what is going on with my mixā¦ if you can make it sound good on them, it seems to translate much better across systems. My room is about 10x14 and the only treatment Iāve done so far is corner traps behind the speakers. I also try and mix at fairly low volumes.
I know a bunch of models that give some good value for the money. In the low end, check out the Alesis Elevate 5, M-Audio AV42, Audioengine A2+, JBL, and more. Next level up, Yamaha seems like a good option, both the HS and MSP series. If youāre interested, Iāve come up with a brief monitor review https://myelearningworld.com/best-home-studio-monitors/. Hope it helps!

Do not laugh, but āIK Multimedia Iloud microā is a very good option for a small room!
I bought them for travel, but now I constantly use them in the studio for additional control!

Dido on the Yamaha HS series . I got hooked up with a pair of HS7ās and it was a game changer for me. Had I not gotten an extremely good deal on them, I would have went for the HS5ās. I have a good friend/mixing engineer that has a pair of the 5ās, and every time we mix stuff on them Iām extremely impressed.
The reason I like them is because they seem brutally honest. They donāt make for a good listening experience unless the track is really well done. The highs/high mids will slap you in the face if they arenāt managed properly. I see this as a good thing as it keeps my mixes from getting to bright/harsh/tinny.
Take what I say with a grain of salt since Iām sure there are other people with way more experience than me. But I wanted to chime in since I had the same dilemma not too long ago. Hope this helps!

Hello ppl. Check Amphion One12, One15, One 18
Pricey but really really great studio monitors. Yeah pricey, but if you have the chance - go and listen. Great speakers!
