after some thought today I think 8" could be too big for the room I'm in and I'm a bit wary of a possible excess in bass.
I could probably stretch for some rp5s or second-hand rp6s. I know the rp5s wouldn't have quite the bass frequency range of larger speakers but read some comments that they give a reasonable enough bass output, especially in smaller rooms? Also read a few comments that the rp6s can be a little muddy, especially in smaller rooms.
Is it true the rp5s are slightly tighter if lacking some responsiveness in low bass frequencies? I'm thinking I'll go for some new rp5s unless they're going to be useless for monitoring bass.
I'm mainly producing deep house and techno sounds. Translation onto other systems is important for me but I don't want to go for completely flat speakers as I'd like to be able to use them for general listening and I'm conscious of spending more (rp6s and up) because it's an untreated room and I would look to professional mastering for any tracks I feel worthy.
I guess it comes down to: do they give reasonable bass response or are they useless? I'm thinking for my (at this stage amatuerish) purposes they'll be sufficient
