Or what, you'll make another hour long mix with 10 tracks played from start to finish, like the human jukebox you are? I mean seriously man, someone posts an R.I.P. thread for a musician that did far more with his life than you probably every will, and the best you can come up with is "good riddance"? Just how ing miserable are you?
Back on topic, you're panning the low-range end for monitors, so your choices are going to be somewhat limited. Why studio monitors for DJing, if you don't mind my asking - are you planning on producing as well? |

What do you suggest instead?
I just like them because they are powered and sound good... |

See, I own a pair of B2031As, but found them way too flat for DJing, so I paired them up with a sub so I could catch all that tasty low end - a little colour in your sound isn't a bad thing when it comes to DJing. (production's a different story - the sub goes off when it comes to working on tracks).
What you're describing sounds like a volume issue, not a bass issues. Aside from the suggested look into room treatment - and this might sound like a bit of a throwback - why not just get an inexpensive amp and a decent pair of bookshelf speakers? You'll hear more bass at a lower volume with those than you will with any pair of purposefully flat reference monitors. And if you absolutely must have powered units then a pair of high-end computer speakers will still probably suit your needs better than studio monitors.
Thankful I don't have volume (or bass) issues where I live... |

Yeah its a bass/volume issue... basically I just cant turn the volume up too loud where I live so I always had to keep it like super low with the Mackie MR8's, and the bass has to be especially cut down because the mackies are big speakers. Just hoping I can keep the bass at a normal level if I get 5 or 6 inch monitors.
I had high-end computer speakers before... and bookshelf speakers + amp would probably cost about the same as low end (price wise) monitors, and is just more clutter.
I will probably just get a pair of KRK RP6 G2's at Moog... they are only 227 a piece. |

| As has been suggested, listen to a few pair before making a final decision. Long & McQuade on Bloor has a dedicated speaker room where you can demo whatever it is you're thinking of buying. |

Which sub did you end up picking up? I have the same monitors (absolutely love em) but I wouldnt mind a little more 'oomph' for some of the pounding prog/techno stuff i spin. I know there is a corresponding Truth Sub that goes along with those monitors.. I was debating picking that up. |

| The same one you're referring to - the B2092A. Warms the room up quite nicely, I must say. |

Nice. I was thinking about adding that to my pair as well. |
