Hey Gang, all the best for 2014!
I've been after a set of studio monitors for some time now, managed to get together a bit of dough and just looking for the right deal now. my Max budget is 3K, not a lot I know but there are couple brands 5inch monitors available here and there for just a tad over that price.
from time to time I see a set of used 6inch monitors coming up for sale on gumtree etc for round about 3k, like the KRK rokit 6's.
so in other words if I buy new, I get 5inch, if I buy used I can maybe pick up 6inch for the same price or even a bit less.
now for questions:
1. how much of a gamble is it to buy used monitors, is there much that can go wrong with them?
2. do I really need 6inch monitors instead of 5, my little room where they will be used is only 2m X 2m?
Thanx in advance!
