Recommendations Speakers €300 Budget??

    Hey. sorry if theirs been load of these threads already.

    Recently sent back some active powered Tascam vl-a5s to Thomman for the second time in 6 months as they're Fecked and they’ve offered a refund thankfully. Before that had some Kams also Fooked after a short period so im not having much luck with speakers of late. Never were abused or turned up loud.....

    I don’t produce/mix music beside the odd DJ mix on Abelton so these are simply for music enjoyment and to have them quite loud around the house while im working or whatever.

    So maybe nearfields are out of the question. My budget is max 300 (I know not great) and I have no amp so they'll need to be active bi-amplified with xlr inputs to run off my RME soundcard.

    I was thinking maybe getting something a bit more up to the task like the PA speakers, but also are very pricey even for one. (would I get away with one?)

    I'd appreciate some recommendations of reliable. meaty speakers with great sound under budget and that thomann stock as that’s where my credit note is for.

    My opinion- get whatever Tannoys you can afford. Sweet speakers for the money.

    Thanks for the recommendation. The TANNOY REVEAL AKTIV 5A is in my price range (just). they look nice. Seems to be a toss up between these few then. all similar price too, under 300. Hard to make a decision. On looks alone im leaning towards the Infrasonics Blow 5's. Quite nice and seem to have fairly good reviews but relatively new to the market and could be knackered within a year.
