Have only been using monitor speakers for the past few years, and looking to invest in a set up for home (amp, speakers) that are geared up for dub step and reggae. Don't have a budget in mind but nothing too ludicrous. What do you have at home, anyone have any recommendations? Cheers Paul.

logitec speakers for 20 quid lol

(got some nice moniters in the studio though)

Some old Sony speakers from a Hifi system running out out of an Aura amp (quite cheap on Amazon.... supposed to be for a 5.1 system, kicks out up to 1000watts and doesn't sound that bad if you hook your speakers through the two main channels. Think its £65 or so..)

The speakers have good sound and react very similarly to monitors so i cant complain.

The sound isnt that bad, but i've had to tweak the equaliser for hours to get it to my sound.

I've currently got some Pioneer hifi speakers hooked up to a NAD 326BEE amp as well as some old B&W's hooked up to a cambridge audio A5.

Going to get some slighter bigger ones to replace the B&W's and need to get a nice big sub as well

Acoustic series 3311s hooked to a Pioneer SX-312R, i used to have some nice phillips bookshelf speakers as well

all bought second hand for around $15

also need a sub...

Got like beats uadio on the beeper* but when I'm playin a fat dubplaet then I plug the vynil into the laptop mac (with beats audio naturaly)

when I post vids on YT and like 5 people dislieke it i say "5 of my neighbors didnt htis tune " not like skrileex and the other hispster bands but og dub like flux and excksision

*cell phone

Powered Monitors

Need a sub as well

errr a dvd player from a 5.1 surround sound that also works as an amp for audio, the sub from the same 5.1 system (so shit) and a pair of old speakers from a semi-decent hi-fi player.

So what I'm trying to say is

Saffire Scarlett 2i2 interface and some hardware and logic, but I'm just using Sony MDR-7506 cans, no monitors

Akai MPK 25
ProFire610 Audio Interface
MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz i7 processor @ 7200 rpm , 8 GB RAM, 750 G-HD
8 inch KRK Studio Monitors
V-Moda Crossfade M-80 Headphones (plugged into audio interface via adapter)
And all necessary cables (MIDI, FIreWire 800/900, etc)

DAW: Logic Pro 9

double post*

In the process of hunting for a nice PA system. Going to pay around $1500 AUD. Should be able to find something alright for that. Oh going 2nd hand aswell, will post back when I find something. Should be in the next couple weeks

i got a pioneer amp and floorstanders from aiwa and a sub from aiwa

pair of cerwin vega Ve-12s and a Perreaux E1 amp and pre amp (old but goes very hard )

wanting to swap my cerwins for some monitors though, there a little too heavy for home use..don't sound as good at low volumes. Some mackies will do

Some old pioneer amp & equalizer & some old decent monitors.

Was considering these Morike, but don't have the space to blast em either.

Laptop speakers

My logitech Z-5500 just broke down, so i only use headphones creative fatal1ty headset, it has good clear sound for electronic music.

Floor standing speakers:
av123 strata minis (each with 8 in subs)
powered by a nad t770
other subs:
av123 ufw-12
av123 ufw-10

Marantz PM6004 hooked up to Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s and a Wharfedale SW150.

search ebay for some cambridge audio amps or nad, nice warm sound. Jpw speakers are nice if you can pick them up.

have a look at what your rooms like. if its a small room you could probably get away with a good pair of bookshelf speakers if its a larger room then its usually about positioning.
