Rokit5

Honestly they're equally bad. They have the exact same mechanism and tiny built-in speakers. So same thing in a different package. If the budget is so tight I would maybe think on getting a pair of reasonably good sounding active speaker to connect your phone to. It will have much better sound and y

Those Behringers are decent for the price but you might want to check out the KRK Rokit 5s or Yamaha HS5s instead - they're pretty much the gold standard for bedroom producers and synth setups. The KRKs especially have that low end punch you're looking for without being too muddy, and they won't bre

welcome to the wormhole this can get expensive if it escalates haha What kind of music are you looking to play (has big influence on where you get music from) Software - rekordbox is pretty standard and what most use. It is compatible with the vast majority of hardware players and controllers and in

Yamaha HS5 or KRK RP5 are both decent entry level speakers. In general avoid speakers that have bluetooth. I've seen a few of these advertised and they are just toys. You will also need a decent audio interface. The MOTU M2 or M4 are really solid high quality units. A little cheaper would be Univers

i ran into this same spot last year. the rx3 is great but overkill for a first deck honestly. the XDJ-RR goes for around £1,000 and still gives you standalone rekordbox prep. another solid move is finding a used XDJ-RX2 - people upgrade and sell them all the time. for speakers the DM-40D are fine bu

You’ll need a computer that’s as powerful as your budget will allow, ideally spending around $1000 for a really nice computer. After that it’s not really necessary unless you’re going legit aka professional. MacBook Airs are good enough for the job and those are 1000 bucks. Macbook pros can handle a

You want a pair of powered studio monitors. "Powered" meaning that they have their own amp built in. (Forgive me if I'm telling you stuff you already know). There are heaps of decent options at a really wide set of price points. Some candidates might include: Kali Audio LP UNF KRK (Rokit 5 or Kreate

honestly the RX3 is a solid upgrade from the SR and mixer combo. i made a similar jump last year and the standalone workflow is way smoother. for budget speakers that still sound decent for home practice, check out the Pioneer DJ DM-40D or KRK Rokit 5 G4. both are under $200 each used and plenty lou

With little experience i gathered until now in sound world and considering your taste as its described partly in main post and also asking price and while i read almost all replies and since you don't search for 8" woofer then i think that Adam T7V, Mackie MR624, JBL 306P, Focal Alpha 65 Evo, Preson
