Speakers (Bedroom DJ)

[Cryki]

I have just purchased my S4 and need to know whats a decent pair of speakers on the market at the moment. Budget is around the £100 - 200 mark. I generally mix deep house/disco and occasionly old skool hip hop.

My friend told me to get the cheapest krk's but they are very expensive for just a bedroom DJ.

Depends what you plan to be doing and what sort of sound quality you need. With better quality speakers you'll have better clarity, which is important for picking out frequencies in production etc (and of course if you're an audiophile) but if all you want to do is bang out tunes fucking loud then you don't necessarily have to spend too much.

That said, I'd find a shop and give the KRKs a listen... they make some seeeeeeriously happy noise

I use alesis m1 active 520's...very happy with them. Add in a nice tight 8" sub and you're set. They are about 150 quid on amazon.co.uk.

Yep I got a pair of those as well and they're fine for the bedroom..

+1 on the Alesis. I dont have them but i hear good things about them.

I bought KRK 5's and they are perfect for my room. A little on the expensive side, but sturdy and excellent sound quality.

Great stuff im going to look into the Alesis.

Thanks for the help peeps.

I just got my S4 2 weeks ago. I also got an Akai MPK49 and bought my 5yr old son a drum kit so i had to go a lil' cheaper on my home speakers. I went with a pair of M-Audio AV40 studio monitors. I'm satisfied with them.

if you wanna go cheap the m-audio av40's are decent too, even the bx5a I would give a shot, haven't compared them to alesis but for the most part they have good reviews.

+1 on the KRK's. I was lucky enough to randomly run into a nice pair of KRK 8's (v1) at a yard sale for $75
