Im thinking of picking a pair of these up from thomann.de for £330-ish. Could anyone tell me if they are good moniters for dubstep. Looking for something with nice bottom end as the speakers i have now are a pile of shit and cant really hear much bellow 80hz dunno what make they are ether found them in my loft
Does anyone know how i will set these up too as im currently running my turntables and computer through an amp to my speakers. I dont know shit about this sort of stuff so help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

good speakers imo, especially for bass. can be a little dull on the high end but as long as you are aware of this you will be ok. I think Distance uses them too.
you might need to buy a little channel strip or mixing desk to connect between your sound card and speakers but that wont cost much.

some thing like this should do it

but you might want to go for a better quality one. just ask at the shop where you are getting your speakers and they should be able to help you. sort of depends on your soundcard and amp etc.
