Understood, I think i will be purchasing that system at some point or one similar to it (for computer use only), as far as studio speakers go, far star earlier in this thread mentioned that the HS80 model had enough bass as it is

I went with the Yamaha HS50M's. I play a Kawai MP10. I find the sound very good for my ears. Lots of detail, not a lot of low end but enough for me. (not into rap music). What I like is the detail, no boomy or mushy sounds. Makes it very easy to hear the individual notes or keys (and all the mistaks I make!!!).

Just to help distinguish brand bias from specific experience with these products, would you mind listing which monitors have you had a chance to listen to personally? My experience with M-Audio monitors is that they are markedly inferior to Behringer, both in terms of sound quality and quality control (one of them that I bought was defective in a very annoying way).

The Behringer brand takes a lot of flack because they make all entry level products, but when comparing the entry level products across brands, I'm not sure brand generalizations apply. For example, the fact that KRK also makes very high end monitors is not relevant when comparing their entry-level monitors with those of other companies.

Thanks brass thats very helpful *inserts thumbs up emot here*

It would be nice if someone would purchase these so I can find out if it makes a major difference in sound.

First for practicing at home a "keyboard" amp does not work well. I have a Peavey KB4 that works fine for small venues. It takes a lot of volume to get a decent sound. At low volumes it sounds thin. It is stereo but only if you take the uots and run into a stereo PA. I bought a Yamaha Stage Pas (stereo PA system) that works much better at low volumes. Plus it has two speakers. I bought it as a compromise system. My preference is for some near field monitors. I have tried out the Yamaha studio monitors and really like them (the 8 inch woofers). So basically you can drown youself in amps like I have done to fit the occasion. Also I use headphones at the house when I am practicing. I do agree that a subwoofer should be augment the monitors. they should be transparent.
