Re: Budget monitors
Recommending a studio monitor is about like choosing a wife for you in a lot of ways.
The relationship between the mixer/engineer and their studio important is more important than the brand or model. Spending enough time with the studio monitor to get used to how it really sounds is most important.
Hit records have been mixed on bookshelf home stereo speakers, although this is not the norm.
On top of all this, room acoustics makes a drastic difference in the sound of your studio monitors (an ENORMOUS difference in the low end!!). So, in the whole grand scheme of things, just buy something for $300 (if that's your budget). See if people who have used them for years are happy, first.
In 5 years, you may decide you need a different sounding speaker.
