I wanted to buy a pair of monitors , I am on a low budget.
I looked into these ones -
JBL Control One
Samson MediaOne BT3
Numark Nwave 360
Behringer m16

I am new to monitors and also i casually try to make songs. I will be using these for mostly multimedia listening. i heard about passive and active monitors , it would be great if you could tell me what they are? and I won't be using anyother equipments like amps with these. Pls keep them under $120. Thank you!
 
Solution
active = self powered (has power cord to plug into the wall). basically they have an amplifier in them already.
passive - unpowered. they need an amplifier to work.

good active sets on the lower $100's would be the micca pb42x, m-audio av30 and av40, mackie cr3 and cr4.
