I am on a very low budget approx £300 and I need monitors. What can anyone recommend? Active, or an Amp and monitors. Please help!

I will now boast the fact that I have a pair of Genelec 1030's. Thankyou - thankyou - thankyou.

1030's are the best nearfield monitors (I think) in the free world. A little out of your price range however.

Before my 1030's i had a pair of tannoy reveals and yes they sound beautiful. For your amount of money I wold get these in active or get some Yorkvilles. I dont know what there called but they rock and their newish. The problem with the less expensive monitors is that you may not be getting a true representation of the sound. Sure the tannoys sounded amazing (mabee even better than my Gennelec's) but when I play my tracks on another pair of spaekers it sounds well.... SHIT!

Good sounding speakers may not be the answer. Flat sounding speakers are! Now that I think about it for your price range actually try picking up a pair of Yamaha NS-10's. They would probably have to be second hand by now but they are found in top recording studios throughout the world!
