hello,

I currently record live music (woodwinds, drums, etc.)
direct to minidisc and use a MAUDIO Delta DiO 2496 to get
it into the computer. I was wondering if anybody could
suggest some good studio monitors to use with Sound Forge.
Monitors that are affordable and decent in sound quality.
The MAUDIO card has analog RCA outputs. Anything better
than my 10 watt Altec Lansing speakers my computer came
with!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!

Hey Jerry, me too. My recording isn't as sofistcated as yours,but
i'm also interested in getting a good recommendation for some
speakers to use when doing the mixing and effects. I'd be very
interested in learning if anybody has domething that can be bought
for a couple hundred or less that is considered decent.

Jerry,
In case you haven't found any monitors yet, I can recommend the
passive Tannoy Reveals. I am currently using them for my editing and
they sound great! They only need a modest 50-100W/channel @ 8 ohms
amplifier and will accept bare wire or banana plugs. I picked mine up
at a local music store (Mars Music) for about $350/pair. They don't
go down really low (they start rolling off at about 60Hz) but the low
end is tight and the highs are silky smooth. Great deal for editing
systems, in my opinion.
