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!

I'll join this thread smile.gif

I've been on Genelec 1029A cause they are cheap and small (don't have much space) but I am not satiesfied. The mixes I have done on those are way to "sharp". It seems like I have been fooled by the sound. It seems like I think I hear enough low frequences but when I play it on my stereo I hear that it is not "pushing" the way I want to.
I am now thinking of spending money on BM6A's in hope of getting a "cleaner" sound.

Do you think that it is a right investment for me to spend more money and buy Dynaudio?
Are there someone who is satiesfied with those small Genelec?
