As a person that loves music, and better yet, loves LOUD music, I am looking for a system that would blow my ears out  Just to stay within budget for now, I was thinking about the KRK [RP-8]'s for my monitors. http://www.krksys.com/v3/rokit_rp8.asp And the KRK [RP-10]'s for my sub woofer. http://www.krksys.com/v3/rokit_rp10s.asp This is the first speaker system I will have. My budget right now is about 600$ for speakers, and 400$ for the sub woofer. Also, let me get this out there, I will NOT be needing a stereo. I am just going to have these hooked up to my computer because that is what I run all my music off of. Let me know what you think, please. I am looking to getting these parts as soon as 2 weeks, depending on the response time of these forums :P Thanks again! -Bren | ||

Ok, sorry, I kind of mis-said what I was looking for. I dont realy need loud speakers, I am looking for excellent quality but still can get pretty loud. | ||

CRISP ????????????????????:cool: Just realy good quality sound, big frequency range. I listen to alot of diferrent types of music, and some use alot of BASS. But I plan on getting a sub woofer anyways (which I ALSO need help picking out :P) and loudness would be nice too

I was more looking for someone to pick out a set of monitors i should get based on what I want them for, and that is just listening to music from my computer. But I dont want just speakers, I want excellent quality REALY good studio monitors. | ||
