Active Studio Monitors

My stepson has asked for some for christmas but i't's an area i've never looked at before. Certainly not at this low price point (Around £150)

Anyone have any suggestions? I've seen the Mackie CR4's which seem to get decent reviews, and Mackie are generally know as quite OTT bassy which he seems to like

He mostly listens to electronic music.

Cheers

Could well be that was just my perception more than anything else

I agree completely and a set of speakers and an old Sony amp is what he currently has and what i recommended changing. But for some reason he wants some active monitors.

He's 20!

Thanks guys. He’s decided to put some towards them so think those M-Audio ones are probably the way forward

This may sound daft but it looks like I can buy 2 single speakers on Amazon cheaper than a pair. I have speaker cable anyway but is it best going with a pair?

Ah yeah that’s what I thought. There’s be one master and one slave connected to it. But maybe that’s because I was looking at cheaper ones initially.
