What are some good monitors for small bedroom production?
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.
Haha, I knew you from Texas after reading your post. I don’t think anybody else says or types the word (Y’all)
What y’all talkin’ 'bout? I always say y’all!!! 
It’s the same with anything like monitors. You definitely get what y’all pay for. 
Take a look at the Presonus Eris 5’s too, same price range and I think a better sounding monitor myself.
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.
I use KRK Rokit 5’s and have always been more than satisfied!
The mackies are great. Generally id say never take someones opinion at guitar center but this time they would be right. Those are some great studio speakers
Has to be ether krk or adams. Also worth once you have the cash having 2 sets so you can switch between the two.
Depends on your budget. Mylist would be:
M Audio BX5
Mackie MR5
Yamaha HS5
KRK RP5 are awesome,
I got the silver chrome one at guitar center a year ago,
which was on sale for USD198/pair.
Love my gen 2 krks. None are better than the other. Just go with what you like the sound of and thats you man.
if your room is big enough i would suggest the adam f7 ,those are very good monitor.
I had the yamaha hs50m but lacked on bass frequencies
Everybody always says Mackies are great but I haven’t had a chance to play on them. I have a pair of Presonus Eris E5 and a relatively small room and I love them. I’ve heard people moaning about Rokits boosting the lower end, which I think would be even worse in a small room.
Genelecs all the way! But if they’re out of budget then maybe Adam A5X’s
Love my JBL LSR 305s. Was eyeing Adam A5xs which do sound more detailed by not worth 3x the price of the JBLs IMO…so I bought the JBLs. If you have the space get the big bros, or maybe check out Yamaha HS5s.
I think Event 20/30s are interesting and the Focal Alpha series.
The JBls have a surprising amount of low end…I mixed a winning beatport remix on them
Yamaha HS5’s, without a doubt.
The JBL LSR305 are really tasty. Heads or gearslutz rave about them… I heard good things about the Mackies too. Gearslutz a good place to get opinions anyway https://www.gearslutz.com/board/
I would also have a look at the Adam A5x; I can recommend them.
