speakers/monitors
I need to buy some speakers/monitors to poractice my djing with…any recommendations? my budget is 300 or less
Active monitors or driven by an amplifier?
For practice, I like to use studio style monitors. For your price range, I would look into a pair of M-Audio BX5s or Alesis M1 MK2.
powered monitors..i was actually lookin at the krk and the m-audio’s but dont know which is better
BX8a M-Audio, Samson, Alesis … basically anything with at least 8" bass!

Yeah I couldn’t see myself buying anything with a woofer smaller than an 8. I myself use a pair of BX8s and Behringer Truth B2031As. I had the older KRK RP6s and they sucked. I’d buy the M-Audio’s but the sound will slightly be enhanced(highs) and NOT flat. It wouldn’t matter if you are just practicing with them, not engineering.
if you want my personal opinion mate I reckon that if you really want powered monitorsyou might want to hold off for now. Powered monitors are really an investment i think and 300 isnt really gonna give you much value for money, the best brand for a somewhat higher budget i can recommend is Focal, otherwise companies like samson have some relatively ok speakers like the resolvR series but dont expect much in terms of low/sub frequencies
Do get yer studio mixed up with yer DJING BX(a are great for cheap DJING (with a slight touch of studio) use.
Using yer studio monitors for DJing is just an accident waiting to happen…
I it was for studio… I would be recomending ADAM A5s / Genelec 6010a/ KRK RP-5 …

Djing is about enought ummph with a sweeter sound…
studio e clarity/ definition/ no coloration! - So need less power but absolute definition/ clear reprodution…
2 dif. ball parks IMHO!
Save on one to spend on the other!

just for banging out bedroom sets - Behringer Truths
I am also after Monitors purely for DJ’ing nothing else those Truths i take it would be perfect? also heard good things about the PRK’s these any good, prefer powered as I really don’t want an amp.
If you can, try to listen to as many pairs in your price range. Studio monitors are something that sounds different to everyone. Some people may like the sound of krk rockits, others would perfer the sound of the m-audio bx8a. For me i say record a cd that has music your familiar with and bring it into GC or other music store and just listen. Pesonally i would save your money and get something decent so you don’t have to look at upgrading anytime soon.
You can’t beat checking them out instore for yourself, with some tunes you know really well. “Good sound” can be as subjective as “good food”. But I do so love my Blue Sky Mediadesk
going to wait and try and pop down a shop which is a couple of hours away, my local place doesn’t stock any of those mentioned in the thread! but I have also been looking at these http://www.dbtechnologies.com/mod_produkte.cfm?pid=237&pgid=1&pugid=66&psugid=0 which look rather nice and a couple of people have said to check them out, so i shall
