I went to Guitar Center around the 4th of July last year and I was comparing some studio monitors. One of the guys recommended the Mackie mr5mk3's for small bedroom production. I thought they sounded amazing, so I've been thinking about buying them ever since I laid my eyes on them. I need y'alls advice on what to look for in monitors that can be used for bedroom production. I really want the Mackie's.

Go for the Mackies! There really great sounding monitors. The MR5s' should be enough in a smaller room, I use the same ones and there more then loud.

I have the same KRK's for about 5 years with no complaints. Get the matching sub if you really want the bass.

JBL LSR305's are really good in that price range as well. But if it were me, I'd save a bit more and get Focal Alpha's.

Has to be ether krk or adams. Also worth once you have the cash having 2 sets so you can switch between the two.
