I would’nt DJ the meal, bang pre recorded chilled mix. Grab some grub youself. Kick the party off after, simples

if you get hit with import tax and vat (which you probably will) customs love a big box its not going to be that much cheaper.

I have the 6’s and I believe them ample and they go loud when you want them too for something so small. A friend has 8’s and he does feel they are a bit overkill Like vintage has said you should set them up near to you when mixing etc.
As for neighbours, if your speakers are near you they will sound loud to you without being too loud for everyone else. I ve never had a complaint from any, I work on the principle if its late your going to piss people off so dont do it. Don’t lay down 8 hour sets… 40mins at a time and people would be more accepting of it.
When you do have a blow out Ie cranking it right up do it when people are at work. easy

I was in the same boat. The 1210’s are in the loft and the man cave is rapidly is becoming a nursery :D.
I bought the ddj sx and have been very pleased with the decision. Great controller and i can do a bit more on it than the 1210’s as i was not a big scratcher still learning it all it can do.
good luck with it anyway! Its not the end, a new chapter!

Are you in the uk mate if you are, I ve just taken the plunge on some krk’s rp6’s. But to keep the cost down I found these in a sale. These are the g2’s and the same price as the rp5’s g3’s. Basically I’m on the version behind but saved £80 on the RP6 g3’s. I have not heard the new ones but very happy with what i got for the money.
