A friend is asking which speakers he should get, he wants them to be loud and still sound excellent (for parties and personal use) but for them to be stand-alone with no separate amp/cd player/pre amp. He will be using an iPod and PC to send sounds to the monitors.
I suggested KRK Rokit 6's but soon realised that they require a mono input for each channel and a kettle lead each channel, which isn't massively practical, however it is do-able if we use a 3.5mm to phono lead and split the channels....leave the speakers on 0 gain and use the iPod as the volume control.
Does anyone have another suggestion please, I am hoping to find some like PC speakers where one cab has the controls/amp and sends it to the other, thus not requiring cables everywhere.
