Reddit reviews Monitor Audio MR1 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker, Pair (Black Oak Vinyl Wrap) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Look on Amazon or Currys, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they will have the best deals by far.

Speaker wise, it depends on your budget and also what your set up is like, Hi-Fi or Monitors? Guessing Hifi.

For grime you want something not explosive bass heavy but with a good kick (grime is already bass loaded so a pair of bass heavy speakers would drown out all other sounds).

• If i were buying speakers id look at these. They have pretty good reviews on Amazon and are not too expensive.

• If you did want monitors these look good but you would also need a sub.

  Hope this helps.

I'm based in the UK, looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers for £100.

I've narrowed it down to Monitor Audio MR1 and Wharfedale Diamond 9.1

What are the differences between the two and which one should I get?

Diamond 9.1's are nice for the price. Or you could go with one of these....
