Speakers (Bedroom DJ)

+1 on the KRK's. I was lucky enough to randomly run into a nice pair of KRK 8's (v1) at a yard sale for $75

:eek:

I bought a pair of technical pros WITH the subwoofer (complete 2.1) for $189 on Ebay and while those are budget speakers my room isnt build like a studio so I wont get the expected performance/sound immersiveness of the KRK's anyways. I talked to a friend who coproduce Reggaeton and he told me those Tech Pros were enough for me although for his studio (a secondary unit of Machete Music) he needed the KRK's plus some Yamaha stuff. He made the comparison like buying a Ferrari to be driven on a dirt road.

Im pretty happy with my purchase but if you can afford them then get the KRK's.

I have the m-audio av40s which I bought off Amazon. Great value and have RCA outputs in the back--I really like them. You really don't need the power of the bx5a for the bedroom.

if you wanna go cheap the m-audio av40's are decent too, even the bx5a I would give a shot, haven't compared them to alesis but for the most part they have good reviews.

so if it was a choice of the m-audio av40s or the Alesis, what would you recommend.

I will eventualy get some decent monitors but for now just a cheap but value for money pair.

I got those in a pack with my Numark Omni Control. They're total shit, loudish but horribly muddy.

I'm not a big specialist in monitors, but do not buy Numark or M-Audio. My experience with those wasn't good. I'm pretty happy with my pair of KRK Rokit 6 (G2), but those are slightly more expensive than what you are looking for.

An important thing to consider, as fullenglishpint rightly pointed out, is what you need the monitors for...

• If you plan on getting into production, it will be difficult to find something that sounds decent and is cheaper than KRK Rokit series at the same time.
  
• If you just need a pair of speakers to be used as monitors while you mix, almost anything will work.

Yeah, with me I just want speakers for home use with the DDM4000 im getting. As for cue monitors I will be using my Shure SRH440 headphones

I've been wanting a set of these for a while

I've been wanting a set of these for a while

I've had those for some time. The built-in amplifier was making so much noise, I just couldn't live with it. It was driving me insane. Still don't understand how you can have those in a studio. If nothing is playing all you hear is this loud sharp buzzing as long as the speakers are on. I had to return mine and went for a pair of KRK Rokit 6 (G2) which also have some humming noise from the amplifier, but it's very soft and completely bearable. If you don't believe me, just do a search for "humming" or "noise" on M-Audio forums and you'll see what I mean
