Hello people. I am currently trying to decide whether to purchase some active or passie monitors for my set-up and was hoping to get some advice here. Do i actually need to go down the active monitor route if i have a seperate amplifier or is it pretty pointless? I have a pretty basic set-up and am looking to spend about 300 squids on a set of monitors. Is there much different between active and passive monitors using seperate ampliflier?

Thanks for any advice.

With active monitors your are guaranteed an exact amp to monitor match. Going passive with an amp not suited to the monitors can lead to less than desirable results.
