Excellent finding man! Congrats! (BTW how small's your place, 3meters by 3meters by any chance?)

This is right but I have owned av40s and while the sound is decent they caused some fatigue specially with high freqs...

I now have mr8s which may be overkill but I can listen to them the whole day...that said who knows if thew bx5as are smooth?

I was in the same dilemma as you, budget of £200-250 and wanted some decent monitors.

Went into a few music shops, listened to a few and went for the KRK8's

They are more than adequate (loud, so loud!) for a bedroom DJ.. Even enough for a 50+ person house party.

They were a bit over budget but I went with the 8's as I didn't want to 'miss out' as somebody previously said in this thread. Glad I did tbh.

..just need a sub now

I love my KRK8's and your right about them being loud, even enough to throw a little house party. They might actually be too loud for a small room though as I have to keep the volume pretty low not to blow my ears out lol

I agree with these guys, 8's can give you some additional uses when needed but definitely on the edge of the budget or more... I would wait till I have enough for them

I just heard the Reloop ADM5s the other day, and they were awesome as dj booth (active) monitors.

(They were €129,- for a pair)

go big or go home.... thats my motto. lol

i want a pair sooo bad. my JBL Creatures are good for being plugged into the laptop but no where near as nice of a sound as i would like now (picked them up a yr or so ago on sale --- needed a set of computer speakers)
