Active Monitors

[rhythmtech]

being honest i dont know. but stanton arent a big name in studio monitors and, although they used KRK technology, i'd still be inclined to go with a company that have a track record.

try KRK themselves, m-audio, alesis, yamaha etc

check out the future music monitor showdown.. its on the web somewhere

also while i think of it, check out samson rubicons.. they're meant to be quite good.

You can certainly get Active monitors around the £100 mark (each - so £200 for the pair).

Alesis, Yamaha, KRK etc.

They'll certainly be above and beyond most good hi-fi speakers.

But bear in mind that you get what you pay for, and the difference between £200 monitors and £600 monitors is massive.

If they're active then it means they have amplification built in.

So yes, they should do what you want.
