keep the 62, buy some decent active monitors and spend the change on a cdj800. If your not into cdjs get better monitors. If you would like the amp option with passive monitors buy that. 62 is more than enough.
btw, how much were the 2xtechnics and where they new or used and where did you get them from. seriously considering getting a pair rightnow.

you don't have speakers and you want to buy a freaking Xone 92? Whats the point of DJing if you can't hear what you're doing? Unless you have a seriously sound proof studio you really don't even need big ass JBLs with an amp. I would go with really really good studio monitors if I were you.
it always amazes me why people want to buy the most expensive club mixers just to dj in the bedroom get some decent speakers r u crazy wish i had that sort of money to spend.
what's the sound quality difference between the xone 62 and 92? if it's a huge difference then i mite consider the 92...if its the same shit...then i mite just go with speakers cuz the 92 has the midi features which i dont need at all...since i dont produce that often and even if i do produce...i just use fruity loops...

how do u plan on mixing without speakers anyway?
just get some good speakers
i hav headphones i could mix with...speakers rnt really essential ..althuogh ill hav to say that they do bring the music to the next level....its just that i wanna experience good sound and good mixing...im still learning....and the 92 is the best mixer in the market (personal preferance and opinion) ...but like i said b4...if the sound quality is the same with both 62 and the 92...then ill just stik to my 62..but if its noticeably better on the 92...then thas the one ill stik to for long long time

u wont be able to hear what ur doing properly u will need speakers to hear what ur doing mid mix there are more essential than a new mixer u already have a mixer. Also u have bought a xone for better sound quality but whats the point if u dont have speakers to use it on.
i will get speakers sooner or later....but for now i just wanna know the sound quality difference between the 62 and the 92....lol but nobody seems to take a break in answering that question.
