Samson MediaOne 3a Monitors: will these be a good starting set of monitors?

[titser_marco]

Are these monitors good enough for home recording? I'd probably be using it for:

 - Preliminary mixing [before mixing it at a proper studio]
 - Tracking
 - Reviewing mixes of our recordings for 2009

This is the first thing that I considered since I don't have a lot of space in my studio.

Here's a pic and below it would be the specs:



Get Big Sound from These Compact Samson Monitors!

Ideal for desktop audio and video setups, MediaOne 3a monitors are AV shielded for use near computer and video screens. These powered monitors recieve 15 watts of power per side, powering 3" woofers and 25mm tweeters. Precision-tuned, rear-vented cabinets help to provide a surprisingly robust low end, while allowing the speakers to stay cool. Each pair includes a "master control" speaker with front-panel level control and a headphone jack. Go small and sound big with the MediaOne 3a!

Titser, bili ka na lang ng MAS MALAKI... 'yung pag nagtayo ka na ng mas malaking studio ( or you said PROPER ), pwede mo pa ring gamitin... its a good start to have one like that, but it would be a better start if you get a better one.

I see. Currently eyeing a Behringer 2030 as a next and bigger choice. You think it's worth it?

save more, get at least a samson rubicon r5

i've used behringer ms20's and ms40's (same class as mediaone) and i used to think the world of them. i thought they were giving me decent mixes for such a good enough price at least until i bought my krks and really heard a LOT of what im missing.

lesson i've learned: the only monitors good enough for anything are the real ones.

Ha! Marvin is currently loving his VX4's. I'm eyeing those HS80's I saw in PP... hmmmm.
