Speakers (Bedroom DJ)

[Rukks]

Knew I would find this thread....So im looking at active speakers also but I want something loud enough for small house parties every once in a while...my dilemma

KRK 8's for about $225 or
Mackie thumbs 15a for $200...i found a good deal.

Obviously the mackies are meant for parties but do they still have good range for mixing or practicing in my room?

I think the thumps are too much for you room, unless it's as big as a basketball court.

I shoot 3's from my computer chair.

I don't know if I made myself clear though....I would bring these out to house parties or parties at my place....Not only in my room.

Basically, would they be precise enough to pick up frequencies while mixing even at low levels in my room?

Or would the KRK 8's be good enough for that?

The KRK 8s would do that for you amply. Thumps are not designed for bedroom use!

what about these...

remember i will get krk's soon but i just want a cheaper pair of monitors.

They look pretty good actually, for the price, but if you're going to get KRKs then why not just do it now?

[Cryki]

yea i was thinking that considering they are 45 more.

go to sapphires in cricklewood (decks.co.uk) and try a few different ones out. Best way to know!

those 179 ones come with a free mic.... mite come in handy

Anything else about the reloops? They appear to have a really good freq response.
