If you decide studio monitors are for you, you'd probably get a lot out of a pair of KRK K-Roks, which can be gotten for $250/pr new; go up to $400 and get yourself an accompaying studio amp (which may sound better, and last longer, than your home stereo receiver). It probably doesn't make much of a difference, but I find electronic music in general sounds better on monitors with a flat, uncolored response. Since IDM seems to put such a premium on sonic diversity, I'd say it's especially so with said topic of list discussion. Consumer-oriented speakers tend to subtly (or not so subtly) emphasize certain spectrums, and depending on make, deteriorate with heavy use. Professionally-oriented gear is designed to be hammered day-in, day-out. Disclaimer: I'm a KRK owner. Tannoy, Mackie, etc. all have similarly-priced offerings in the marketplace. My suggestion would be to go to a Guitar Center with that CDR of your favorite tracks and listen to a few different pair of low-priced studio monitors and see which sounds best. w --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
