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!

1030's are the best nearfield monitors (I think) in the free world.


I absolutely agree, I had worked in a studio before that has 5 of these babies for 5.1 sorround mixing and they blew me away.
I personally use event 20/20 powered at home, I think value and quality wise they are great.

I would also recommend alesis m1 actives for a powered monitor soulution. Before I wouldn't believe that these things sound great but when I tried them myself they certianly give out a really flat response that has to be heard to be believed, mixes here would translate well to other systems and for just under $400 a pair it's a good deal.

A hint of warning though never buy them second hand and never buy them online because they have to be shipped, although the amazing performance they give out, they are poorly built and easily damaged internally with just a few bumps, so if your considering in buying one, go to store a check out a good pair yourself some people get a bad pair due to damages in shipping but if you get a good pair their absolutely a great value.

I can't believe no one mentioned mackie in this thread...MMmmm...I wonder why??
