Active Monitors

[dan the acid man]

They would probably be OK.



Though as has been said previously, if you're going to mount them on a wall you may just want to go for some high end hi-fi speakers anyway.

high end hi-fi speakers? you're talking well over £1,000 for high end hi-fi speakers and they'd hate being mounted as much as studio monitors

theres a even more budget pair for 30 quid less too.

only 50 quid usually 250 quid for the pair.
might be bidding on this. that way i go under budget get a half decent monitor.

thought i could use my existing set-up and link up one monitor at head height on an exisiting bookshelf.

and maybe when i ve got more cash get another active monitor.

True enough...

I was thinking more along the lines of hi-fi speakers in the stated budget, which will be pretty good.
