Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Hercules RMX and am wondering what is best options for further setup. Currently I am running it through my laptop solely but I would like to run it from some other speakers.
I currently own a basic Cambridge Audio amp and some 200w floor speakers which I run as my stereo system - however the amp is damaged and so only plays though one of the speakers.
Basically I just wanted to know what the best options was.
1) Get my amp fixed and get the Hercules set up with existing amp and speakers - although I wasnt sure if the speakers are suitable
2) Upgrade my amp and get some additional bookshelf speakers
3) Buy some active speakers to use just with the console
I dont have an awful lot to spend - maybe around £150, but I feel I could buy a new amp/speakers I am hapyp with for that amount. I just wondered what was the most sensible thing to do based on the budget and the stuff I already posses.
Any help is appreciated!!

Hi m8,
I'm no expert here however all of your options are good in my opinion.
I was in a similar dilema and decided to buy some active speakers.
I did this for a number of reasons:
A) I don't have much space
B) I don't need an amp with active speakers
C) I only had a small budget
D) I can be real mobile with active speakers too (pop round a m8's house no probs)
E) I can upgrade when I have more cash and room in the future
I bought SKYTEC Active Monitor speakers 40W RMS. If that's not enough power I may have gone for the CT8A model which are only 8" and pack 100W & 50W RMS... Check em out on Ebay I got a good deal.
I hope this helps my dear fellow
P.S If I'm barking up the wrong tree then please accept the above as a mjor brain fart..Tee Hee
All the best
