Asking for a complete review on Studio Monitors (RP8, VXT8, HS80M, B3031A, and more)

This basically, though for the cheaper segment, you could always check the excellent Mackie MR-5 or MR8.

One thing I can't stress enough: Make sure your studio is big enough for 8" woofers!

If your studio is too small, go for 5".

True, a bigger woofer makes a greater bass, though the bass needs the appropriate space to form. Room for this to take place increases as the size of the woofer increases.

The only reason I was planning on going for monitors was for the nearfieldness. My hifi speakers I am using sound like crap and completely different from the 4 feet or so away that I use them. I really don't care about flat response since I just want some nice speakers for mucking about at home with.. what would be a better choice than monitors? Seems like everyone uses them.

Could be great, though you really want to check how big the space is.
(Oh and that most songs/tracks you like spinning, will sound bad, due to poor mastering.

My choices…

DJing: KRK RP5 + RP10s

Produciton: Genelec 2.1 DSP or Dynaudio BM12A + BM14S and Yamaha NS-10m with a Bryston or Yamaha amp.

Cool, I'll have to try it out. I guess it'll probably teach me better EQing if it sounds crap..
