Hi

I have a DJ setup with 2 x technics 1210s and a Pioneer djm 350 mixer. I want to connect some active monitor speakers to the setup connected straight to the mixer.

Now I don't have a lot of spare cash atm and I know there are some great speakers out there if I wanted to pay more, but I can't so wondered if anyone has any budget ones they can recommend (say less than £100 for the pair).

The other option is to go second hand of course.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
 
Thanks for replying. I already have the thing connected to my main hi-fi which is an Arcam Alpha 9 with Acoustic energy floor standers (all purchased 25 years ago along with the decks and still going strong) but they are quite far away so although great for banging out the tunes....not so great when the wife is in as it "dominates" the house somewhat.

So I need something which is acceptable and right next to my setup for when I'm just messing about.

I mix oldskool dance stuff from the early 90's (garage/house/breakbeat/italian/techno etc). If that's your bag here's one of my mixes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQcgiWGZe3g (assuming self promotion is ok!).

I'll have a look at the R1600T III's - thanks.
 
Thanks for all the replies.

Now after all that I'm pondering whether to pick up a second hand amp to drive some passive speakers. Taking into account my own Arcam setup and how its still amazing after so may years, I'm wondering if I could get a deal second hand for something a few years old. Of course I appreciate there is a risk to buying second hand.
