Revamping my audio, & was wondering what you folks had set-up. Basically fishing for ideas & the like.

I just have some Hi-Fi speakers hooked up to a Yamaha receiver & an extra deck hooked up to it (an older Numark) via a small pre-amp ( No sub-woofer yet! ) . Also, i don't know much about receivers but was looking at some vintage Marantz (from the 70's) on ebay & have heard a whole lot about them. What other brands are good & dependable? This time around i'm thinking of building my own speakers (brother's a carpenter & could get me some quality wood & stain).

Other than my technics, and mackie d2, I have a realllly old pioneer amp with some wharfdale raw wire speakers, and they've worked pretty well for me for a year now, but are much past their primes. Since im taking a loudspeaker design class Im gonna try to build a new setup with a sub, piss off my neighbors more

A single Technics 1210 with an old stanton 500 (gonna be upgraded) through a mediocre Sony amp into Mission 70 mk2's
does the job.

Marantz is great, those things last 50 years.

Two Technics 1210 mk2s
Formula Sound FSM400
Alesis M1 active Mk2s


want some hi fi speakers though!

stanton str8-60's (LOL) into a Citronic Mix Station (LOLOL) into a Marantz PM 44 SE AMP feeding a pair of Linn Helix speakers

once i have technics i'll be laughing

as it is the amount of feedback i get from a) havin my speakers too close to my decks and b) through my decks being a direct drive motor away from being fisher price turntables means i have yet to get the best out of my amp/speakers.

2 needles made of cat whiskers and duct tape on a ceramic flower plate. It gets the job done.

Can anyone recommend me some good active speakers for my set up? Looking to get the pair for under £200 but will stretch to £250 if they are definitely worth it!

Thanks alot guys.

EDIT: Mixing dubstep obviously.

EDIT2: Looking at the M-Audio BX5a with some stands? Not sure if they definitely used for monitoring but people say they have a really good bass...which is obviously what I am after.
