Im looking to invest in a pair of monitor speakers, Im fairly new to all this, so what should i be looking for? Ive heard M-audio is good, and my friend has a pair of KRKs and loves them, but i havent heard them. I was looking into these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KRK-Rokit-5-RPG2-Active-Studio-Monitor-Speakers-/130558463953?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e65e40fd1
My price range is 150-200 as im going to need a sound card as well, if you have suggestions for that as well, im open to suggestions.
Thanks
KRK’s good for starters on the budget.

If you can afford it, try to get something with a 6-inch to 8-inch woofer on it. I’ve found that these tend to reproduce enough low frequency information to provide reliable, accurate mixes.
Spend at least $300-$500 if you can. $700-$1500 will get you into a really professional set of monitors, but avoid spending less than $200 if you can. You’ll only end up using them for a year at most. Then you’ll sell them for some nicer monitors.
If you’re on a budget, I’d say look at behringer.
