06 Amps & Speakers Most bedroom deejays will make do with a hi-fi system but others will insist on using a proper powered amp and a set of monitor speakers.

To help you make your decision we'll highlight some of the differences for you.
Hi-fi systems are made to make the best of what you put through them, they don't go particularly loud (which might be a bonus for your neighbours), and they tend to squash your mixes together, so they don't sound as tight as they should.
Monitor speakers coming off the back of a powered amplifier are better if you can spare the wong.
You can pick up a decent package for under £200 and they are better for mixing because they separate the frequencies more than hi-fi speakers can, which will help you keep your mixes sounding sweet.
