Blak Randy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 For under £100. Are there any?It's just mainly for listening, scratching, maybe making a few beats but not mixdowns n stuff. Cheers men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't know if they have them in the UK, but look into the Tascam VLS-21s. Not the best sound quality, but they're fine for scratching and listening. I use them for that. But yeah, not the greatest for making beats, but if they're not used for mixdowns, I don't really see the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decisive Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i couldn't say for sure on any of these but http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/?m_manufactu...lter_type=basic there are at least a few choices. i would guess that the edirol ma15-ds will have the best sound and the behringer and m-audio will be the loudest but they're just generalised guesses... for under a ton there's not going to be much difference between the good ones, they're all going to be 'okay' at best for serious monitoring purposes but you should definitely be able to get some that are loud and crisp. the edirol's bass enhancer will be handy for listening or scratching purposes because the monitors in general will probably be a bit flat in comparison to stereo ones, but obviously you'll get more bang for buck just getting active monitors and no cd player or whatever. if there's anywhere near by that you can test then i would, you won't really get how good they are for monitoring but you'll get a sense of the loudness and bass response. plus if you can find somewhere try your best to lean on them for a deal, sound control can easily knock 15% off most of its stuff if not 25% in my experience. i'll have a scout around in a bit and see if i can find some evidence of a 'best in class' type solution bro...

dextrous Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I might be selling pair of richard allan ra8 2's ...... dunno if you're at all interested - or anyone else for that matter. http://www.richardallanaudio.com/rallen/frames.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextrous Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 probaby not gonna let them go for a ton though so just ignore me. Tannoy F1 customs can be had new for 80 or 90 quid. They're not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Caruso Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If you're spending £100 or less on active monitors, you're not really worse off buying a big pair of computer speakers for ~£20 from somewhere like Maplin. They're all the same really... In fact, you probably have to get over £300 to not bother getting computer speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nice man. Monitor Ones are pretty dope. I know Pete Rock uses them, although I think he uses them for listening to what he's making on the MPC, not for mixdowns. Or was it for his decks? I don't remember.
