Hi all,

I had it all figured out,

A rode nt1a, an audio buddy as preamp, an audiophile 2496 card as soundcard, and a pair of edirol ma-10d speakers. They fitted exactly in my budget. I couldn't wait to get started.

That was until I read all bad things about the edirol speakers.
So I thought: well there must be another set of active monitors around 200-250 euro ($220-275). But there simply wasn't.

Sure, lots of American companies had good sets of active monitors for this price but they weren't interesting for me as most companies either don't ship to the Netherlands (where I live), charge huge shipping costs, or the monitors have different voltages and plugs.

So basically now i am stuck. Sure I could purchase the monitors with different voltages and plugs but I am afraid that it could lead to complications in my set-up etc. And I don’t know how to connect them if they have different plugs etc.

That’s basically the reason why Iam posting this message. It’s like a desperate message in a bottle. I hope someone will find it and helps me out this one...

Best regards
