Untreated room, Focals, or else? help me guys!

[Daeronb]

Yo guys!
My old Event TR6's broke down (atleast, one of em), and i wasnt happy with them to begin with. So I'm thinking of buying focals. Thing is i dont know which ones i should get, and there are some things for me to consider, so i hope you guys can help me with that!

The room i am in at the moment is the attic of my house, it is untreated and has a triangle shaped roof.

Ive been hearing alot of good stuff about the performance of the cms 50, even in untreated rooms. So these sound like a good choice. However, i'm making dance (mostly techno/minimal) music, so on the other hand i do feel i need a bit more bass than the 50's... So maybe the 65's then? I've also heard that the solo's have a real club feel. How do they perform compared to the other focals (and monitors in particalur) (in untreated rooms in particular).

It might also be the case that there is one monitor that im overlooking that would be perfect for my situation, if so let me know.

Appreciate the help!
Cheers

the best monitors for untreated rooms are Jbl LSR4326P,LSR4328P.
i use 4328p and they sound absolutely wonderful.
the R.M.C feature is great.

The only way you'll know is by trying out a few different types as this varies from situation to situation. Otherwise, everyone will recommend you what they personally use, which isn't totally objective.

What is your budget?

Here are two examples of Studio SOS with attic studios re treatment - a treated room is always better than an untreated one, even if you are more limited to what you can do.
