Monitor/speaker recommendations for production

Hi guys,

I recently moved into a new place and my previous Bowers & Wilkins reference speakers that I used for production on my PC have now been implemented into my tasty AV system. Therefore, I now require a new set of speakers for the sole purpose of production and obviously general music listening...

Obviously something that can handle a lot of bass... I notice some studio monitors come in the 2.1 variety too. Thoughts?

What are people using these days and what's the current recommended setup? Most likely to be purchased from Derringers.

Cheers in advance,
Linh

Edit: And yes I know I have to go test them myself... Just getting a few models and names together...

Are the Event range still up there? Something around $1-1.5k would be fitting. Am pretty keen on the Event TR8XL's atm...

errr so no one has any recommendations on studio monitors???

i have a list in mind and will be taking some tracks into derringers today anyway.

KRK RP5s (or 6s.. or 8s but if you're getting the sub imho the 5s will be fine) with an RP10s is what i'm looking forward to saving a few pennies for

sad truth is you can but them off the net from the US for less than half what derringers buy them for from the australian supplier

not a bad price if you're willing to risk teh warranty etc, considering you could replace a faulty out of your own pocket and still be ahead that way....

plenty of reviews around the web

yeah been flat out on the reviews for the last week or so now. just checking what else people used...

dropped the coin and ended up getting event tr8's today... was a toss up between them and the krk 8's...

thanks for responding!

Not sure if it's too late already but I do know someone Selling KRK 8's..

PM me if you would like more info..

too late - but thanks tho.
