    ok guys should have given you more info.

    never mixed before but I want to learn to mix and create my own sets
    lover of deep house music, hip-hop, and downtempo, but also enjoy harder stuff like progressive and tech house
    do not have a vinyl collection
    I only use an Apple Music subscription

    Here is what I just bought off Amazon for $299:

    I am now looking at getting some speakers and am thinking about these at $250 but found a FB Marketplace post for $150:

    https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP4G3…

    will this plus cables and my laptop be enough? A turntable can come later.

    • only feedback is KRK are kind of junky and from what I have heard from my friends they don't handle extended periods at loud volumesautoflavour
    • also they are studio monitors, but if you are looking to DJ you are probably better getting a small powered PAautoflavour
    • also second hand speakers are nearly always fucked already.. would save the hassle and spend the extra $100autoflavour
    • Which brand of monitors would you recommend? Will these monitors not be loud enough or have enough bass?HijoDMaite
    • I may just get them and test them out I can always return them if not satisfied.HijoDMaite
    • go properl;y old skool with a pair of bose 802shans_glib
    • studio monitors have a flat response, generally anything less than a 7" driver requires a sub. those KRKs would be fine for 'booth monitors' not mainskingsteven
    • look at hifi - floorstanders if you have room - second hand you will get a lot more of a pleasant listening experience for your moneykingsteven
