Hi,
I have been researching which studio monitors to buy for the first time on audiosciencereview forums, reddit etc. I have finalized it to the below 7 options (Starting from most preferred to last). For context, I have an untreated room for now - . I plan to add a large carpet and two sound diffusing panels on the corners to begin with and maybe a blanket on the wall opposite to my desk.
1. Iloud MTM - These have gotten amazing reviews throughout but some people mention the coil whine issues. As per my research, upto a certain decibel (85), the sound separation coming out of these is amazingly distinct and people have mostly fallen in love with these. I am also a bit inclined since apparently the ARC mic can help alleviate room issues. They are priced at 349 CAD per pair.
2. Kali LP-6 V2 - I think enough has been said about this that they are the budget king. They are also very affordable at 279 CAD per pair. They are also front ported and also offer room equalizing options for untreated rooms so they are attractive as well.
3. Kali IN-5 - I am really not inclined towards it because of the price but some reviews mentioned that the low end distortion which Kali LP6 v2 produces is not seen here
4. Adam T5V - Mainly inclined because of the price. They are the cheapest here at 210 per pair. But Apparently their sound is more 'colored' than netural?
5. Yamaha HS5 - There is criticism for the midrange and they are as expensive as Kali LP6 V2 here in Canada at 270 per pair. So I am not so inclined towards these. But it also has dials to compensate for the midrange it seems.
6. JBL 305 - These seem to have mixed reviews with some praising them to the moon while others
7. KRK Rokit G4 - Many reviews mention the added bass is muddy and not good for low end monitoring.
