Want to buy new speakers but on a budget (student problems). I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to audio systems, can wire car audio and that's about it!
Got a budget of around £150, maybe £200. Been looking at Hi-Fi systems such as: Sony MHC-ECL77BT 470W & Panasonic SC-AKX400EBK 600W Speaker System But also found 'monitor speakers' for DJ mixing etc.. e.g.. M-Audio BX5 D2 Compact 2 Way Active Studio Monitor Speakers Numark N-Wave 580L Powered Desktop DJ Monitor Speakers Mackie CR5T Monitor Speakers The reviews seem to be really good for the monitor speakers but after digging a little deeper, I've read that they produce a 'flat response', not too sure what this actually means... and everyone I've spoken to says to buy an equaliser to go with them and they'll be amazing.. but obviously im too poor for that, they all seem to cost £150 + alone... Anyone able to recommend a suitable system/set up for me? I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (edm, trap, house etc. etc.) and love it when you can feel the low frequency tones and kicks. In need of a little knowledgeable advice Thanks in advance! |

I'm not knowledgeable regarding hi-fi gear but since nobody replied yet I'll just chip in that "flat response" essentially means that all frequencies are reproduced at equal volume (ie a flat line on a frequency vs response graph). Meaning the source material is reproduced exactly. This is for most people the "ideal" soundsystem. In reality, this can never be fully achieved.

If you're looking for some hi-fi gear on a budget, try looking round second hand, Cash Converters, Gumtree etc. There's shedloads of used stuff out there, you'll almost certainly get more for your money that way.
