I love the write up for that yamaha -

The Yamaha HS50M monitor delivers performance you can bet your career on.

Lmao.

Anyway, i wouldnt go for the roland at all. The yamaha would be a better bet, but for your purposes i would check out Fostex or KRK. It would be wise stretching your budget a little to get the best you really can afford.

if you bought his Adam's, it would be a sin to merely use them a few times a week to just DJ on

you will physically hear them crying all day and night long

if its solely for djing, get yourself some nice hifi speakers and amp

sorted

this looks like what i need really.

just scared of buying it now. represents a lot of money for something potentially i might have little use for.
at the moment i just need it for a night, in which i am djing for free.
hardly a return on my investment.

imy mate NRG Phil is lending me his Limited Edition KRK8S in yellow.

How cool is that?

my mate NRG Phil

Is that what Techno Phil is calling himself now?

well you've only just stated you're going to be using them live, if you'd said that from the start we'd have all suggested a pair of pa monitors

yes i only realised i needed one for that use until a week ago.

i did assume that the active monitors would double as a pa.

infact i am using a KRK8 as a PA on saturday.

No, why not hire a couple of DJ monitors for the night from a local sound company
shouldn`t set you back more than 40 smacker

yes i think i might do that in the future.
this gig is something i should be getting paid for, im doing it for nowt at present.

so no way im buying owt or renting owt yet. not unless my talent gets discovered and i get sponsered by some speaker company. which is not gonna ****ing happen is it.

[dirty_bass]

check with local sound hire, I`ll bet you can get a little 500W or less set up for about 34 quid or something.
Or just get the dweebs running the gig to sort it for you.

Nearfield monitors such as KRK8 are not only the wrong type of speaker for a pa in terms of the type of sound they produce, but you will also probably shred the **** out of them using them for this purpose.

Generally, PA speakers are what you need, when you want a PA.
They are hard wearing, more full range in sound, and can handle being lifted about.

not much better than owt when your m8 slaps you with a bill for a new set of krk's after they been destroyed at a party.

listen to DB'S advice.. there are reasons to his madness!!!
