Can anyone recommend a really compact set of monitors(active) for home DJ Setup. Have to be wife compatible so very compact, not looking for masses of power just a nice clean sound. Bose possibly ?

Are things like the Dre Pill etc any good ?

thanks for help.

M Audio do some nice stuff, not sure if it’ll be small enough. I plug my stuff into a set of Harmon Kardon Soundsticks, which don’t take up too much room and look great. Just a bit of a faff needed with cables to get the audio into them.

Another vote for Audioengine A2’s.

I haven’t heard them but… My Dad raves about them and his previous set was Wharfedale speakers the size of washing machines.

It really depends on your budget!

These are good and nice and compact:

M-Audio BX5’s, for the price you can get them for (I paid £135 brand new for mine!) they’re unbeatable, and they’re very compact for a proper monitor. Unlike buying something like the HK soundsticks, you will actually get a proper representation of what is being played too, rather than a bass heavy, posh computer speaker setup.

I use a set of Edirol by Roland monitors, MA-15 were about £125 and great. Dual controllable inputs and very good reference sound considering their small footprint.

These be good – great value and nice sound

Had a pair of KRK’s like those listed above, they’re not bad but they’re quite big, and they’re not a very natural sound. They’re a little bass heavy.

Replaced them with the (much) cheaper M-Audio BX5’s and they’re a lot better for my needs (small room, can’t make too much noise, need compact speakers).

Alesis M1 affordable and active speakers.

I know they’re not active but I loved my JBL Control 1’s

Look at some Tapco’s. They are the budget brand of Mackie,cost about half of Mackie very tunable to your room size ?

Adam have a great reputation and the ones ive heard are very impressive

thanks very much, I’ve gone cheep in the end £30 ! But these sound great for the money.
