    Default Need to buy cheap monitors

    Hi I need to buy some monitors, but I don't know anything about monitors. I just need them for at home but if I can use them at gigs it'll be great.

    Hard to give specific recommendations without a budget since that will be the limiting factor.

    However, I can suggest Craigslist as your best friend and the first place to look. I noticed that the TS is from Denmark and that CL isn't what it is here so I suggest finding something similar. Classified ads targeting musicians would be a good place to start.

    I just picked up a set of gen 1 Rokit 8s for $200. They weren't DJs but musicians who were selling some stuff out of their studio.

    Hope that helps.
