Small powered speakers for home use

[Kwal]

Guitar Center has a deal on some small 3" Alessis monitors, not sure if that's an option.

Seeing as you have a pioneer set up already why not the pioneer speakers, seeing as they have just brought out a new version may be able to pick up the old ones cheaper now, they got rather goo DJd reviews and have a volume controller too. Just can't remeber the model name.

Either that or pick up another pair of KRK's, as they do go pretty loud.

I would avoid a small 2.1 setup, I can imagine they'd be easliy overpowered, and the Aego-M are more for media/ipod use etc

Whats your actual budget?

Budget is around the £200 mark for the pair. I'll have a look at the Pioneer series.

Personally, after seeing what is actually available around the 200 mark, if you do want decent sound and from a decent company, the best bets are;

Old pioneer DJ series monitors
KRK rokit 5 or 6's (if you go for the now old G2's, could pick them up cheaper)
Fostex PM0.4d (No experience with these, dont know how much abuse they'd take.

As the speakers are going to be used with a DJ setup they do need to take the occasional battering, so go for a decent brand, they'll last longer. If you want volume obviously go for one with a bigger cone, though dependant on room size you may not need to.
