I interpret your requirements as being able to hear the music with the same level

of chest thumping as you have in a good night club.

Let's get back to the basics, what causes the chest thumping, feet and body
thumping sound in a night club - low frequency waves that are not just hitting your
ears, but vibrating from the speaker through the ground. - The root cause of this
is lots of volume - or amp power - especially at low frequencies.

In my experience most studio monitors do not give you that physical thump/via low
frequency vibrations and audio, you need a subwoofer.

The Alpha 80 will give u a nice low end and excellent volume, but that low end
thump, you will more "hear" than "feel", cos the cabinet will not transmit the
vibration to the ground so you can also feel the sound.

Because of your room reflections, that low end sound may be slightly exaggerated,
but there are controls at the back of the Alpha's, to roll off(lower) the deep bass
or increase. The only way to get the large thump like a night club is large
speakers with mid/woofer or woofer only diameters of 10 inches or more.

So decide if what you want is a thump in your ear(which the Alpha 80 will give you)
or a thump in your chest/feet, for which needs the addition of a sub woofer or
larger speakers.

Why? most desktop placed studio monitors or when placed on a stand or pads are
setup to prevent the vibrations from getting to you via the physical contacts, cos
in most cases everything is done to present these contacts with adjacent surfaces -
using vibration resistant cabinets.

If you increase the volume to unhealthy levels, you can get some thud pumping
through the air, but by the time you feel bass from the Alpha 80, the overall
volume will be too loud to hear properly in a mixing scenario.

I suggest you consider the Alpha 80 complemented with a powered/active subwoofer.

a) Audio interfaces

Let's talk about audio interfaces. While distortion levels differ, the quality of
most audio interfaces are more than good enough for beginners.

Therefore if its audio quality, there really is not too much difference to worry
about, just get any one...

My earlier point about being able to get an RME was because these interfaces are
definitely better in certain aspects like low latency, and overall reliability of
the device and have excellent reputations for the capability of the software that
is provided, which could be important to some. But the lowest cost RME device is
about 3 times the cost of a beginner device which should be more than good enough.
This opinion was also formed based on the quality of audio interfaces about 1 year
ago. In recent times, some of the lower cost devices have improved sufficiently
especially in the area of latency.

If you are a beginner, take a look at devices like the Focusrite - 2i2 2nd
generation. (make sure you do not buy the 1st generation version which was the
earlier model and is not as good). This has acceptable latency performance.

Another decent device with a reasonable cost, is the M-Audio Mtrack 2x2 M (or the
cheaper Mtrack 2x2) The M version has better audio quality.

If you have the cash - buy RME Babyface Pro.

b) Monitors

In general monitors have much greater distortion than any other audio device, and
probably the most important decision you will ever take is the choice of monitor.
Unlike audio interfaces, there is a much more significant difference between
monitors. Furthermore because the technology does not change very often, you are
likely to use a monitor for many more years. I've been using the same monitors for
over 12 years, and am not likely to change them for quite a while.

Therefore monitors is an area where more judgement is needed. And a good monitor is
likely to be one of the most expensive single items in your studio.

If your budget does not stretch to the expensive speakers I mentioned earlier :

"e.g Focal - CMS 65, Focal Solo 6 BE, or Neumann kh120, or Neumann KH310, or Focal
6 Twin"

Then I think that the Focal Alpha 80, is a wonderful monitor. If you want something
cheaper, look at the Focal Alpha 65 or the Yamaha HS7 or HS8.

If you get an opportunity - and have the money - take a good look at the Pioneer
RM-07, I have not heard them myself, but I am pretty sure they are outstanding, in
any studio. They are more expensive than the Focal Alpha 80, but less expensive
than those in the more expensive range..

The important thing to note is that Yamaha' have ports (holes) at the back, while
the Focal Alpha's are front ported.

This means that if you choose the Yamaha's you will need more distance between the
monitor and the rear wall.

c) Acoustics

This is such a complex area, that it is almost impossible for anyone to provide
extensive valuable information to you without going into a lengthy discussion about
your specific room, and ideally after you have already started using your
monitors/or at least decided what type of monitors you wish to use.

I regret I do not have the time to engage with this, as in my experience an

acoustic consultant needs to be able to visit your room and hear things for
themselves..... and where possible measure the room response with tools, Otherwise
its like attempting to get help from a doctor, who is unable to take a look at you
in person, or take your temperature - I'd be suspicious of any recommendations such
a doctor would make, and how reliable these would be.
