Optimum Response In Any Room
Speaker response can vary greatly depending on the size, shape, and surface acoustics of the room in which they're used, as well as how they're placed within that environment. The HS8 gives you extra room-matching and speaker placement versatility with ROOM CONTROL, MID EQ, and HIGH TRIM response control switches that are specifically designed to compensate for common acoustic deficiencies and monitoring needs. The ROOM CONTROL switch, for example, can be used to compensate for the unnatural low-end exaggeration that usually occurs when speakers are placed close to walls or in corners. The MID EQ switch gives you subtle midrange boost and cut options in addition to flat response, while the HIGH TRIM switch offer the same type of response-tailoring capability for the high frequencies.

Richard -
I've long been a fan of transmission-line speakers, particularly those designed by Steve Eberbach with DCM. We use a pair of DCM CX-17's, which are a 2-way coax design with a ported transmission line. I really like 'em, and you can almost always find a pair on Ebay for less than $100.
And, of course, there's always the ubiquitous Yamaha NS 10's which will cost you a little more, but seem to be in every studio I've ever been in or seen photos of.
