Speakers/Monitors Under £150

[dacads]

Aloha Amigos,

I'm after a new set of speakers as these Logitech Z323's are not hitting the spot

So my budget is tight as you can see, would ideally like to keep it to £100 but can stretch to £150 if need be.

Music I listen to mainly is rap, dubstep & dnb so looking for something that packs a punch in the low region. Of course I'm aware that won't be provided to the best with a 2.0 system but hey I'll survive and maybe even buy a sub soon depending on the outcome.

I should also state I do some music production too so something with a flat response or close to one would be ideal.

So far I have managed to find some used M-Audio AV40s.

Of course I'm aware it's difficult to get some passive speakers and an amp for £150 so an active pair will be what I'll have to go with.

Thanks for reading, I look forward to reading some recommendations/suggestions

[Hey man

I think the Alesis M1 Active MKII will be the way to go tbh. Yes, they are £240 but I can personally vouch for their sound quality, impressive imaging and flat response.

In fact, I think they would be perfect for you as the M1 Actives are, if anything, a little bass heavy.

Yes, they are out of your budget but seriously man you won't need any other monitors for a good while if you save a bit more and get these. Frankly, good quality monitors (and D/A) is SO important for mixing/mastering that it'd be silly to go for anything less.

Also grab some speaker stands and do some research on acoustics as your room will play a HUGE part in the sonic quality & accuracy of the loudspeaker monitors.

Hope this helps!]

Thanks for your feedback, I've also come across the Alesis M1Active 520 which are cheaper and tend to have better reviews in general

Although I don't plan to make my purchase solely based on reviews, so will have to pop into a few shops where I can actually get a real taste
