So i finally bit the bullet and bought two Pio cdj200's and a DXM 06 mixer.

However, now i need something to play em through. Im currently using my computer speakers which are fairly decent, but Im looking for a proper setup that I can use for my own listening, and to play small house parties. (ie. enough power to fill a 20' x 20' room)

My budget is limited ( up to 600$).

Could someone point me in the right direction? Should i get a home theater in a box? an amp + two speakers? two powered speakers?

help!

I've heard good things about the Behringer Truth B2030A, Alesis M1, and M-Audio monitors. From my quick look, if you want to buy something that will fill a room, the M Audio Ex66 look good. The MTM design provides a decent punch.
OR, if you really want to have something solid, build your own. This requires a lot of time, but if you have the tools and such, it's very possible. I built these from a guy's website:

They are very solid, and sound very nice!

Behringer EUROLIVE B212A looks phatt for a small houseparty! And their active. 500USD.

I love my KRK RP8s.

I love the way I can feel them in my chest!

For the price, I'm really happy with the Truth 2030's

love my m-audio bx8a's, clear with awesome bass, no need for an amp, and can get very loud. always have served me well at house parties. and you can add on a powdered sub (bx10s) later on if you need even more bass

Since you only have $600, and you want to use them for house parties too, than why not get the MACKIE SRM-350 Speaker? Guitar Center has them on clearance for $299!!!!! THAT FREAKIN' CHEAP!!!

Thanks for the responses.

Ive heard alot about the KRK's and, i like the way they look.

For building my own speakers... I have a pile of old speakers that would be perfect for a rebuild. Generally speaking, how much does it cost to build your own set of speakers? and how does it compare to a prebuilt set?

Sounds like a great deal, is anyone using these, or has anyone used these in comparison to other PA speakers.

looks like a even better deal than the behringers i found. mackie is awesome (only 10inch bass tho)

craigslist

We just used my Cerwin Vega RE-30's for a house party, and they POUND. Got them for $180, reciever for $30. You'd never need anything louder in a house.
