Ok, so I know somewhat similar questions about DIY studio monitors have been asked many many times, but I cannot seem to find a good answer for my specific application.
I have been to guitar center, listened to the range of affordable-semi-affordable-damn expensive prebuilt studio monitors and for what I do they just don't cut it.
I don't deal very much with live audio or much "acoustic" music, I am creating very bass heavy electronic music, sometimes dubstepish type bass riffs, with various MIDI controllers in Ableton Live. I need something that will be as uncoloured as possible, something that tells me the truth, no, rather screams the truth about every minute detail from subsonic to Ultra high HF.
I need to know what speakers if any are affordable, have the frequency range needed, and have the least amount of colouration possible.
Same with Cabinets, amps, and crossovers.
This system has to be able to keep up for hours on end, sometimes I am working down to aprox 15-20hz, sometimes even lower, and I have to know what this bassline will sound like or even feel like when played on large format club or outdoor system. But at the same time, I still need high resolution mid-high frequencies.
Thanks!
