Monitors? Presonus Eris 5 ...
Presonus Eris 5
Does anyone use them, what have you compared them to and are they worth the money.
I was considering Yamaha HS8 but... large and price. I mean I could go there
but I like the idea of small, not so loud and portable.
I want some oof in the bass. and definition over db SPL's...
Ditching my old stereo: Marantz amp and Yamaha speakers, to get powered small monitors is my new thing.
So yes, help me out if you can.
The E5's are about $600 and the HS8 are $1500...
Thank you!

I truly considered them, but after research and reviews, wanted the JBL306 or 308 mk ii's.
Came very close to buying them, until I ran across a deal ($100) for some Roland DS-90's, which I've used for years, and which will probably last me until I'm cold and dead.
I know them well, and that's a good place to be.

Right on. Purchasing gear is such a pita. There are so many BS reviews of gear now, some are laughably nonsense. Will check out the Roland DS-90's. TY !

I have good results with passive Alesis Monitor One MK2.
They make active ones as well.
If you learn them, they translate.

Monitors are a critical element in your mixing chain - buy the best ones you can afford. I would recommend the Neumann KH120s.

I purchased a Personus 1810c Audio Interface last year and was super pleased with it, sound quality, wise, so when I was looking to get more or different monitors I figured Person's was a "no brainer".
However, after reading all the reviews, I decided otherwise.

The Eris 5 are very good for the money and I use them since ~2-3 years. I want to replace them by the Genelec 8030, though.
The bass goes to ~60 Hz, so keep this in mind.
