Description
An active monitor does not require external amplification, as amplifiers are housed within the cabinet. The input signal entering the monitor passes through the crossover network first, after which each band is separately amplified before being sent to the relevant drivers. ... This would be called a “bi-amp” system.

best active monitors for under $250 for Alesis qs8?

Hi,

Would love to get your advice on this. I see a whole bunch of options online, but don't really know what active monitors to get for my QS8 under $250.

Are the Roland DM20s the best I can do?
I honestly have no experience with this type of equipment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

Portable decent active monitors.

I need a pair of monitors to be taken with me for recording sessions. I have Adam P11's at home, and I'm not going to take them with me. Small monitors would be adequate and easily portable. So far I listened to:
-Roland 10 (good bass, lack of midrange, harsh treble)
-Edirol MA-7A (Good treble, lacking mids, no bass/exaggerated bass)
