Hi folks,
I'd like to get your opinion on what is a good set of studio monitor speakers to buy.
I'm a begginer at recording but I would kind of like to get a set that will last...
They're powered, good size, sound good, and at $299 a pair, you can't beat 'em.

Phonic P8A maybe ? I've read that these are really good.

Thanks again guys,
I've been looking at some KRK Rockit 5 speakers for about 150 $ and to mee they sounded pretty good
What do you guys think of these ... I think they are made in the US...

Kid-
If they have somewhere where you can demo some monitors, do this-
Take a CD you know real well, that you admire the mix on, and that is representative of the style of music you want to record. Use that to judge how the monitors sound.
Look hard at bass response (flabby? soft? tight and punchy?), and midrange (harsh? clear and defined?) and the highs (harsh? shrill? dull? crisp and airy?)
Let your ears decide for you, bro. Any of the suggestions, including yours, may be good.
Once you get 'em home, placement and your room are important, too.
