only your ears can decide what is best for you and your application. My ears chose ADAM monitors.

Save another £100 and cross your fingures that you will find a pair of Mackie MR8's
I duno if i just became a musical genious or these things really give you the exact sound that is being made.
All my tracks sound pretty well on everything from car systems, hi-fis, laptops, headphones.
A very dramatic change from the Alesis Mk2s

just to jump in before you buy, ill vote for Adam A7s. i havnt heard those mackys so i cant really comment. but adams are glorious
check them out, they have a great track record so far, with loads of acclaim.
€699 for the pair on thomann i think
