Speakers (Bedroom DJ) Posted on: 27.02.2011 by Coralee Salti 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
Delma Tuskey 18.03.2011	Originally Posted by fullenglishpint That said, I'd find a shop and give the KRKs a listen... they make some seeeeeeriously happy noise +1 for the KRK's - I went with full intentions of paying about 120 quid for a set of monitors and ended up listening to the KRK's and immediately bought them. They sound great and look pretty decent too!!!
Lang Abriel 13.03.2011	Originally Posted by Tekki I believe 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?
Mauricio Mereness 01.04.2012	What about M-Audio Bx8 D2?
Shonda Derouchey 31.03.2012	http://community .djranking s.com/showthr...tudio+monitors
Rodger Seferovic 31.03.2012	Does anyone believe these small PA would be fine for house parties (no more than 50 ppl) http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-EURO...3218516&sr=1-1 Probably minimal bass but people would be drunk and probably wouldn't care.
Tamara Zitterkopf 31.03.2012	Was gonna start up a topic about this, im in the middle of getting some new monitors, was gonna go with the numarks NPM5s but have seen people have said there a waste of time, im running a macbook pro / hercules dj controller, just want a good set of monitors what are gonna last long and look nice!
Freddy Fuls 18.03.2012	iKey Audio M-808V2 I just bought a pair on ebay for $270.00 including shipping. Speakers sound great.
Ricki Markman 13.03.2012	I picked up a pair of Yamaha MSP5's for about 200 used...the clarity is absolutely ridiculous on them. I'd definitely recommend hunting a pair down before getting krks.
Coralee Salti 13.03.2012	i have now upgraded to a pair of KRK ROKIT 8's, the sound is great. Well worth the extra money

Lula Falconburg 18.03.2011	Anything else about the reloops? They appear to have a really good freq response.
Coralee Salti 16.03.2011	those 179 ones come with a free mic.... mite come in handy
Tatum Ansaldo 13.03.2011	go to sapphires in cricklewood (decks.co.uk) and try a few different ones out. Best way to know!
Coralee Salti 13.03.2011	yea i was believeing that considering they are 45 more.
Tatum Ansaldo 13.03.2011	They look pretty good actually, for the price, but if you're going to get KRKs then why not just do it now?
Coralee Salti 13.03.2011	what about these... http://www.htfr.com/product.php?productID=296383 remember i will get krk's soon but i just want a cheaper pair of monitors.
Tatum Ansaldo 13.03.2011	The KRK 8s would do that for you amply. Thumps are not designed for bedroom use!

Lang Abriel 12.03.2011	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?
Random X 11.03.2011	Only if you set it correctly and your room allows it to "sound" properly.

Coreen Pankow 10.03.2011	Originally Posted by dazmanuk 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. 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)
Random X 10.03.2011	I just heard the Reloop ADM5s the other day, and they were awesome as dj booth (active) monitors. (They were
Merilyn Sellards 10.03.2011	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
Byron Dipple 09.03.2011	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
Tatum Ansaldo 09.03.2011	Originally Posted by dazmanuk just need a sub now Get the KRK 10s!

Merilyn Sellards 09.03.2011	Originally Posted by BuckyDonePun I have the m-audio av40s which I bought off Amazon. Great value and have RCA outputs in the back--I really like them. You really don't need the power of the bx5a for the bedroom. 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?
Random X 09.03.2011	Originally Posted by photojojo I scored a brand new pair of MR5's for $200 last month. They're fantastic for my small space. Excellent finding man! Congrats! (BTW how small's your place, 3meters by 3meters by any chance?)
Leeanna Ayla 07.03.2011	I scored a brand new pair of MR5's for $200 last month. They're fantastic for my small space.
Random X 07.03.2011	Originally Posted by JonathanBlake Price difference on KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 and Alis M1 520 in South Africa is R200 (about 20 euros - priced at about 270 euros) - so there isn't much in it - so - KRK's or Alis's? [@ Tekki - love the Mackie's, but out of my budget] Damn, over here I believe the KRK RP5s are even more expensive than the Mackie MR5s? (Have a look at Thomann.de. )
Francina Decosse 06.03.2011	I was doing a test of monitors in a shop last week. Had a vs listening on: KRK 5 KRK 6 KRK 8 M-Audio BX5a M-Audio BX8a Yamaha HS50M Yamaha HS80M The 8s are too large for my room and space, but I wanted to know what I will be missing if I have 5s. The HS50M & HS80M have the best clarity and balance from all above. I'm going with the HS50M, although their low-end is poorer than all the others. I can strongly suggest the HS50M for low budget monitors! PROS: Very accurate, clear and detailed sound! CONS: Weaker bass (need a sub if you want to hear the low spectrum) and nothing similar to the average club sound - high quality sound is not always better ... BX5a is a good budget alternative IMO.
Stephnie Godbole 06.03.2011	anyone ever use the iKey monitors?
Tatum Ansaldo 07.03.2011	I ordered a pair of RP5s yesterday from decks.co.uk. Went into the store but they didn't have them in stock, got to test them alongside the 6s though and they really hold their own. Amazing quality for 5 inch monitors at that price. Tried out the VXT series while I was there and my god, they have punch. if anyone's after a pair of VXT8s they have some B-grade ones in the sale with only cosmetic damage to the box (speakers pristine) for about

Random X 04.03.2011	There great, but too small. Can't get a good and thorough bass out of it. I would recommend the Mackie MR-5 for better sound, or better yet, get MR8s. (5" is better than the 4" of the PM0.4)
Coralee Salti 04.03.2011	What about these? http://www.htfr.com/product.php?productID=363953
Tatum Ansaldo 01.03.2011	Originally Posted by popoff44 I've had those for some time. The built-in amplifier was making so much noise, I just couldn't live with it. It was driving me insane. Still don't understand how you can have those in a studio. If nothing is playing all you hear is this loud sharp buzzing as long as the speakers are on. I had to return mine and went for a pair of KRK Rokit 6 (G2) which also have some humming noise from the amplifier, but it's very soft and completely bearable. If you don't believe me, just do a search for "humming" or "noise" on M-Audio community s and you'll see what I mean mate of mine has them and hasn't had problems.
