What are the best Monitors / PA Speakers under 300 each
Posted on: 23.01.2011 by Tierra Barbish
I know theres a thread for studio monitors, but I want to know the best monitors that can also be taken to a party and used as a PA system. And if it's possible, to try to keep them under 300$ for each speaker. And of course, I want them to be as balanced as possible but still be able to get extremely loud without blowing. And if anyone owns some Mackie MR8's, how would these deal with producing and partys?

Any suggestions?

Also, the Mackies give a better and more pure freq range than the KRK, so that would be better for producing music.
I've heard this too, that Mackies are have great frequency range and accuracy for there price. On tuesday I'll go out to guitar center to listen very carefully to both sets and see wich ones are better for there price.

Thanks!

Hmmmm, I'll look into those, In fact I borrowed some from a friend to master my latest track and they were phenomenal! And thanks for the advice on the distance :P
