Luigi,

if you get the yamahas be mindful that the bass tapers off FAST after 80 
hz so you might not
be hearing your real low end and might add too much bass to compensate if 
you didn't know to
watch out for it. i have a pair from a demo and we tested it out with real 
time analyzer
software using pink noise, you could actually see the rolloff on the 
frequency display in the
software. i'm using them still though as i can't fork out the cash for 
active monitors. if
you can get them cheap though go for it, they sound like good home stereo 
speakers and that's
what most people have. mainly just get as many perspectives as you can 
with your mixes, burn
them on cd and go listen at other people's houses, on cheap stereos, in 
the car, really loud
in walmart, anything you can think of. you'll go nuts trying to get 
everything right with
only one way to listen, trust me on this one!!

Subject: OT - Near Field Monitors


Hi all. As I was looking around for some cheap near-field monitors (just 
as a spare for mine,
to use with my laptop when I'm away from home and to have another kind of 
reference when I'm
mixing and mastering), I stumbled across a pair of used Genelec 1019a 
biamplified nearfields.
Has anyone ever tried them and can give me some advice? The price seems 
acceptable and they
seem to be in good shape. I tried them and the cones are working well. 
What do you think of
them?
I was looking for something like the Yamaha NS10-M, or the new MS-5A. 
(something flat in the
response).

Thanks In Advance

Peace
Luigi
