What monitor speakers are people using?

Just curious on what monitors everyone is using

M-Audio BX5's

same as daz but im thinking of changing

After long term shit HiFi speakers i'm now using

Mackie HR824's

I really love 'em..

Mackie HR624's

Abfab speakers

Mackie 624's

Gawd damn I luvs them.

is there any major differences between having a bass port on the front of a monitor to having them on the back? silly question i know, but one of my mates is telling me to stay away from monitors with rear bass ports, any ideas.

cheers, for clearing that one up,

@ eufex - whats the pro's and cons between active and passive, everyone seems to recomend actives, then someone like yourself (established) has passive.

sorry for bugging, but little things like this niggle me, better to be well informed before forking out all that cash, i suppose, cheers.

I've got HHB circle 3 active's and I love them, my only grumble is that because they are so small they are not quite loud enough sometimes but that is not a critisim on the sound. I also have a pair of B&W 602se's which are great hifi speakers but horrible to produce on as they emphasise everything to make it sound as bassey or as bright as possible so when when mixing down on them everything is too bassey and muddy.

I really want a pair of Circle 5 actives now but that will have to wait till after I have bought a dual core cpu (only 23 days left!!!)

Dynaudio BM-5A, wuv 'em

used to use event tr-5 and these blow them away, better stereo field, more clearity in the mids, not to mention they WHOOOOMMMMP
