I have been using a pair of
Yamaha MS 101-III as nearfield active
monitors for a couple of days, while
selecting material for an editing session.

These speakers have a 20 year pedigree (MS 101-I),
They are small, inexpensive (Euro 270 a pair) and
sound rather good.

Take a listen

I had a call from a chap who supervises a
school's music projects. He had six titles recorded by
his pupils (some forty takes in all) that needed to be
edited into composite masters for a school-radio
broadcast.

He asked if he could bring his own nearfield monitors.
and arrived with a small carrier bag in which he had
a pair of even smaller active monitors -
Yamaha MS 101. He said, half apologetically,
"I have been using this model for years, and really
know them well. I hope you don't mind" I was
not being asked to mix anything just stick the bits
together, so why should I mind?

A quick Google revealed that the latest version the
Yamaha MS101-III are about Euro 270 a pair,
so not expensive.

If you need a small nearfield monitor pair,
these might be ideal.
