    Yes correct, get some speakers with XLR input so you go from master out XLR on the mixer. XLR will give you a better sound and a more solid physical connection. Best thing is go to a store that lets you listen to the speakers and get the best sounding powered ones that fit your budget. One tip is you only really need one good speaker to get a good sound and that way you can get a decent brand to fit your budget rather than 2x dodgy brand speakers.

    Thanks for the reply Maxy and the tip. Can you elaborate on the single speaker though, i was always lead to believe two speakers was best to create a good sound?

    If you want the sound for practising DJ ing or playing for friends through your controller it would be fine, most modern music sounds great with just one speaker and in most big clubs they have mono mode so that the sound throughout the club and all the speakers and club sounds the same and even. If you want to play classical music, jazz or some rock it would sound better in stereo or (two speakers).

    Its for playing various types of house music in my man cave and the room is about 25 m2 . I already have some KRK monitors which are ok. Looking through google this has been discussed a lot and people comment on spatial panning, I sort of get that but in mono that would be no existent. I would just like to get it sounding as good as i can and not think after a few months that i should have gone for something better. I cam across the JBL EON 600, which look ok and I might try to have a listen.

    Thanks

    JBL EON 600 series are fine speakers, stereo will always sound better if you are positioned in the sweet spot for sure.

    Just checked the spec again on the JBL and I think they maybe too big. My room is only small or should i say intimate, probably holds about 7-8 people lol.

    I think i might be being a little optimistic looking at extra speakers.

    Thanks
