I keep wondering what is with everybody wanting studio monitors for DJ work. They are (in general) not suited for use on the road, they give you a sound quality you will not find in any club, they are tiring to listen to long term (trust me on this) because they are not made to play loud for long periods of time.
As far as quality for studio use goes, the VXTs are awesome monitors, much better than the Rokits (I have a set of Rokit 5’s – for home studio work, but I tested the VXT6s).
My tip would be to get some 8″ or 10″ active PA speakers. They come in all kinds of price ranges. Even Behringer has some decent and compact active 10″ speakers that are a nice price (certainly way less than VXTs). They are roadworthy so you can take them and use them at smaller parties, they sound much more like the speakers you’d find at clubs/festivals and they are made to give lots of volume per watt. Hifi sound is not what they are made for, but then again neither is DJ-ing.
