I want to buy my first studio monitors. What are the main characteristics I should pay attention to? How to choose what speaker size monitors you need? Is there a difference in the location of the phase inverter?

I think that smaller rooms require smaller speakers, is this true?

Most importantly, how much do you want to spend?

Secondly, how big is the room and is it acoustically treated?

Studio monitors are the most important part of the studio, as is a good audio interface.

Yamaha HS series.

You're gonna get all kinds of answers, but I really think the Kali IN series is maybe the best for the money. The three way design just brings a lot of clarity to the mids (the most important frequency range).

JBL 305s are the best bargain on the market IMO. I owned a pair as secondary monitors and they were perfect for a small home studio. Read the reviews…

Yeah. I bought my iLoud's as a reference pair for my Genelecs, but I use them all the time now. Great for the price.

The KRK Rokit 5 Gen 4 are surprisingly good.

What budget studio monitors can you recommend?
