I am on a very low budget approx £300 and I need monitors. What can anyone recommend? Active, or an Amp and monitors. Please help!

Also.. almost all monitors work best when the amp is massively overpowered over the recommended power rating (especially at low levels) though this isn't so true of valve amps but I figure you're not intending to use one. Just remember to drive carefully! smile.gif
