Im wondering what to get though. Im prolly thinking of spending like £300 or somink like that. Is it good to go for actives rather than passive. I do have an amp already (technics SU V 500) but the o/p are in the block binder form where u inser bare wire, would this be a problem at all if using proper monitors and also the amp would it be good enough to by pass active's.
My mind keeps wandering over to those new sky blue monitors but well, they are £999.
Im using them mainly to produce dance music and rnb style if that helps at all.
Also i think i'll get some stands too so i can arrange them so that im in that typical equalateral triangle position.
What do u think.

Please note - the stated freq response range from the manufacturer tends be a little misleading. The best thing to do is take your favorite cd (that you know the sound of) to a store and listen to them.

Do u think that these speakers are exactly the same as far as electroics are concerned. My amp is a technics one standard which powers my hifi as well as my pc sound to some hi-fi speakers.
The amp is never excelled into the high region anyways for high sound. Do u think that the would be a noticable difference upon using the amp on the passive ones as opposed to the active ones.
My minds wandering back over to those alesis ones now m1 mk2's. Hmm i really am stck for choice.
I wonder what would happen if i slipped and spent £850 instead.

it makes sense when you think about it, but mebbe someone better qualified will throw something in after this.
if you had the money id just go the safe option of actives, but im kinda lazy like that.

BUT..having an internal amp reduces cabling, mechanics, etc.
I like biamped

In the upper end go KRK V8s man. Or V6s for less money. THese are more accurate than you could imagine. I was once in a training session w/ a room full V8s, 20/20s, and HR824s, five of each w/ matching subs for surround. V8s took the cake. Stay away from the Mackie titanium tweeter stuff unless your a fan of ear fatigue.
