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!
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.
