Hi,

I have been getting more and more into recording the guitar ith the
help of this group (so far have got a senn. e906 mic, behringer tube
ultragain, audiophile 24/96 and fruity loops with some effects) and I
was wandering about the benefit of a proper set of monitor speakers for
trying to achieve a good mix (stuck straight on the back of the
audiophile 24/96). Its mostly just for home projects.

So far I have been listening by routing the output of my audiophile
24/96 through the line in of my second soundcard (generic soundblaster
audigy ZS) and out through a creative gigaworks system. My biggest
impression of the sound from that it added a fairly high amount of
bass.

If they are worthwhile addition to a mini home studio, could anyone
recommend a decent pair of monitor speakers for 100-200 pounds (UK) or
reccomend some decent brands or brands to stay away from?

Seen about 'active' and 'passive' speakers, guessing active have an
in-built volume control which could be useful, but wandering as they
are on the cheaper range whether I'd get better a better audio quality
from a basic passive pair of the same price (i.e. cheap preamp
colouring sound).

Looked at some and these sprung up

but there are alot of brands I dont recognise.

Also would 200ish pounds get an descent-ish pair of monitor speakers?

Any help would be most appreciated!!

Thanks.
