Cheap Studio Monitor Recommendations

[Creativemind]

Hi All!

Can anyone recommend any cheap but decent studio monitors. These will be the first pair of studio monitors I've bought.

I saw these today about £85 each:-

The frequency response though is 52hz - 35khz. Strange that they'd go 15khz over the human hearing frequency range and not as low as 20hz.

Does anybody have these monitors or can anybody recommend any other decent monitors for under £200 A pair?

Thanks.

Mackie CR-4 are pretty decent for the size and price.

They look decent and are very cheaply priced. The frequency response only goes down to 80hz though. Would I need them as low as 20hz though if I'm not in an acoustically treated studio?

I use JBL LSR305s the originals... being in the US I bought them from Sweetwater at buy one get one half off. They were $150 each though...

I'm sure the MKIIs are better... I'm sure they still have very good bass response.

The CR-5 will get you down to 60hz, if you can spare the extra inch and a bit more cash.

Lots of features for a really low price.

I'd suggest Behringer or Presonus for decent low cost monitors.

I'm intrigued by these from IK;

Very small, affordable & have had some great feedback;

I listened to M-Audio in a store, compared to 10 other brands. They were good, but I think it was about 7". But respect to M-Audio, you should listen to them.
They won't beat my IK Multimedia MTMs, but those are like $700 or something.
