I am looking for a pair of stereo studio monitors for my Tyros 5 ...

Whats the best?
Whats the best bang for the buck?
Its meant for the home studio, so natural sound is more important then power?

What is everyone using?

I am happy with Roland CM-110. Its a 2.1 monitoring system. My PSR-S950 sounds full, crisp and clean without distortion. Its more than adequate for home needs.
CM-110 product page

I have heard sounds coming from Adam Audio speakers as well. They are compact yet reproduce the frequencies faithfully.

Good luck in your search.

The best ones I ever used were Genelec 8030. The studio monitor reference. Really expensive though.

Currently considering the KRK VCT series (6 or 8)
Anyone got experience with this brand?

This is another topic where YOU yourself has to use
YOUR OWN EARS to make a educated decision......
I wouldn't listen to anyone else when buying any kind of speakers.
It's fine to give suggestions but speakers are a very personal & subjective thing. Especially monitors which give such a Neutral sound versus a Full ranger speaker. Be smart go personally A/B a few TOTL models ... headphone

Good Luck

I use Yamaha hs80 powered monitors.Very nice and linear sound if you are after that.What ever I edit on T5 it sounds nice on my PA too.

I'm still using a pair of B&W D-110...don't know how old they are, but at least 25 years or so. They are powered by an old Radio Shack 100w/side stereo amplifier that can be set to flat very easily.

Also have a cheap old Panasonic boombox that I use to test out recordings...if they sound good on it, then they'll sound good on anything.

Hopefully...you guys are not editing your arranger keyboards, using studio monitors...and then use another sound system to perform shocked

Always edit your keyboard using the sound system that will be used to perform..

Studio montors are used to hear detail and most natural "flat" sound.....Example mixing for a CD (users would still need to eq the media for their taste)...

Performers...you will be very unhappy with results if you set up your keyboard using studio monitors or headphones..

BTW: The best usually is the most costly..
But mid priced are more than enough..
The idea of studio monitors...they allow you to listen long periods of time without hearing fatigue...while at the same time hearing every detail of sound..This does not translate to the best stage sound at all..
