[jamief]

Hi people,
i,m lookin for a small portabl set of active monitors. Nothing to expensive as they will be getting shipped about and likely bashed about. Flat response i think .
Any advice ?

What is your budget? There was a guy on gearslutz forum once asking about cheap monitors, when asked what his budget was, he said, about 2000 dollars.

Presuming your budget is between 200 and 400, check out KRK RP, Event TR, Samson Rubicon, and Alesis.

I'm ordering a pair of Event TR6 this week and I'll let you know how I get on with them once they arrive.

I just bought Yamaha's HS50M - they are VERY flat. I'm happy with them so far.

Thanks for you input guys

and what exactly do you mean by "portable"? I mean, you cant both have flat response and small speakers... its a trade-off.

I am running a pair of M-Audio BX8a 8" 2-way active monitors at ear level on my Project Studio desk. 130w power, they take XLR and/or 1/4" inputs. I think the KRK's take 3 (RCA as 3rd input type) or the RP8's. I forget which. At one point they were on-sale 50% for $500 for a pair but didn't buy them. Got the M-Audio's at a local Daddy's Junky Music store for $350 for pr. Normally $500. Flat response, not so easily portable but can be carried/moved around. They're 8" powered so they aren't going to be *light* weight.
