Hey guys! A little bit of advice I would ask from everyone which has experience with studio monitors - I am building up my studio and I need a pair of good monitors so I would like a good recommendation based on the following aspects:

- what would be more appropriate 5',6' or 8' speakers?
- does the size and form of the mixing room influence the monitor type I should have?
- my budget is about 400-500 euros

What other important aspects should be taken into consideration?

Looking forward to your advice mates! Thank ye! smile.gif

Alesis MK2 and KRK could be good options for that money... I also think that the room acoustic is veeery important. However if you can check in which frequencies your room have problems you can also add a graphic EQ before your speakers. This is not a professional decision but it works. I have a problem at 112 hz in my mixing room so I attenuate that frequency with an EQ from the Motu virtual console.
