You're not specifying the price range. However, I'm very happy with my
KRK Rokit 6 active speakers, and I've heard that many others are happy

That's way too much for me right now, and probably a whole lot
more than I actually need (both the number of speakers and probably
the quality, too). 400 EUR is the **hard** upper limit for me.


To me I prefer active speakers because:

Thanks for pointing that out, that would have been my next question.

The Alesis speakers mentioned by Arnold do already hit my budget hard,
but I think 333 EUR is still pretty cheap for them, considering the
exclusively positive reviews I found.
So maybe I'll go for them, although I'm still unsure because an external
amp seems more flexible to me.

Now I recall my uncle recommending me some Alesis active speakers, some model in the price range you describe. I generally trust him when it comes to things like these, but I haven't listened to them myself. He got the best quality when the speakers was lying rather than standing. He also told me that the left and the right speaker had different (mirrored) placement of high-freq element (left and right speaker is different). This is generally also a quality sign for speakers.

Perhaps you should also check for the pricing of the KRK's. Norway is generally expensive on things like these, and if you go to the store and talk with them yourself, you might be able to get them to shave off the price a little (I was).
