Purchasing Active Monitor advice?

Post by CurtTimson » Fri Dec 09, 2011 12:16 pm

I'm trying to get into DJing, and am slowly building up my own set.

I'm looking at getting a pair of Active Monitors, but my budget is <£200

Does anyone have any suggestions for a first timer buying active monitors with this budget?

I was bidding on these previously but didn't win:

I can't find anywhere that sells them. Are they decent quality? Any other suggestions?

Cheers for your help, I ended up getting a set of KRK Rokit 6 RPG2 Powered Studio Monitors. They were a little bit out of my budget but worth it!
