    Default Low budget active monitor speakers (help me what to buy)

    Hi people!

    I wanna buy new active monitor speakers. My budget is not much, so i can spend around 80-150 Euro and wanna have the best possible for this money. I know the good speakers are cost much better but i will not produce music. I just wanna make deep and tech house mixes with my traktor kontrols x1 mk2 and z1.
    Will use them in my living room wich is not so big and not too small.

    I check some some models wich i like:

    M-Audio AV42 " 135 Euro (new model with good durability)
    Alesis Elevate 5 " 139 Euro (its 5" and i like the bass boost button but in some review i heard when u use it will destroy natural music colour)
    Mackie CR4 " 148 Euro (just saw them in a lot of sites for best budget monitors)

    So what to choose ? or u have better options ?

    I would go for the Mackie's, just because they have a balanced TRS input.
    But, maybe someone with first hand experience can say something better about them.

    DJ Worx did a group test last year: http://djworx.com/group-test-studio-monitors-djs/ and the Behringers came out on top oddly enough, although they may be slightly out of your budget.

    Wish list: Some Roland Aira stuff.

    DJ Works has a private sale of some items, they're selling a pair of them for just 175 gbp! If he's in UK and quick he may be able to grab them

    JBL LSR305's were recently on sale for $99 apiece at sweetwater. That's a bonkers deal if I've ever seen one. Brilliant monitors.
