Can anyone advise me about which speakers to buy (around the £300 mark). Mainly for bedroom DJ use/just starting to think about production. I quite like what i've heard about the krk rockit 6, though some people think i'd need a sub as well?

i got krk rokit 8's, awesome, but i'd recommend a sub no matter what you get, it's very helpful
but go to a store and give a bunch of different monitors a listen...bring a track you know pretty well and listen for the differences on each i'd say. then make a decision from there.

rokit's are really good for the money. If you get a sub, be careful about the mix, sometimes you can think there's too much or too little bass, and it won't sound right through another rig- always try to listen to it through different set ups

go for KRK...they just seem really good value at the moment, giving the rest of the bigger name brands a run for their money...i have mackies..the older 624's and thier great but quite hard to mix on, ive only just started to get the feel for them...i need a sub tho, but not the mackie sub...£1000 is way too much for me, if any one has any suggestions on subs link me up!!!

I've only heard the blue sky 2.1 system, which has a different model sub on it, but it sounded really good

they have a 5.1 blue sky system at my uni which is really good, really clear and you get a great sense of the mix and placement
my house mate has adam a7's which are also quite nice, great stereo field good rounded, proportionate bass, if a little hyped on the top
KRKs my friend has rp5s and I haven't heard any others apart from them but i've heard nothing but good things about them!

id suggest only getting a sub if your room is acoustically treated!
