I have everything plugged into my DJM-800, and external sources just going into unused channels.
Studio monitors are for music only. They will not work with a TV. In fact, if you hook them up to a TV they will get into an argument over who is the more superior technology and who is more well-liked by their owner. I've seen it happen 100 times.
I connect my RP8's to my television aswell through an AUX output :) Bass can be a little overwhelming though.

Seriously though, you shouldn't be using your studio monitors for stupid shit like your TV etc... but a cheap home theater system at Target or online for like $200 if you need speakers on your TV. Do yourself a favor and keep the studio monitors in the studio!!
hehe, I used to get bored and use the FX on my old DJM-600 on the radio and TV... pissed my housemates off no end lol.Quote:

Get a subwoofer with Rokits. They sound great, but lack the low end, unlike the Kardashian sisters.

why don't you just buy a set special for your TV, and use the monitors for what they are build for.
Or you could just use what you have. There's nothing wrong with using your monitors as TV speakers if you want to.Quote:

That's the next thing on the "to buy list"Quote:

Wot? You must have listened to different speakers than I have. Low end is surely the thing they do not lack in, I'd be more worried about resolution and clarity in the high and mid ranges with those monitors.Quote:

The Sub Bass is beyond the monitors range. Thus a Sub...
