Recommendations for affordable nearfields?

[SuitcaseOfLizards]

I spilled a beer into my Presonus nearfields while moving them!!! Alas, they are deader than a turkey on Thanksgiving... lost the beer too.

So I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a decent pair of powered nearfield monitors for $250 or under? My 'studio' is the size of a damn porta-potty so I need SMALL if possible.

All info appreciated! The crap-arse multimedia speakers make me want to projectile vomit...

After one of my PSI A17’s went down I ordered a pair of KRK RP5 RoKit speakers as a cheap bridge until my speaker came back - the cost of repairing the speaker was more than the Rokits - For the price they are amazing and Thomann have them at a bundle price with some foam ISO pads at €299.
Good thing with Thomann is that they will take them back if you don’t like them, no questions asked.

For small spaces I can´t think of nothing better than the IK multimedia Iloud MTM. It works very well at short distances and low-mid volume ant its size and design makes it very versatile and easy to set up. I wouldn´t recommend it for distances longer than 1 meter and for high volume. It´s over your budget but I think it really deserves a look.

If it must be cheaper then try IK Iloud Micro monitor or KRK GoAux maybe. I don´t think they are as good but they could work in a very small space too.

Thanks folks - looking into the IKs and the KRKs. I hate being on a budget...

A pair of JBL 305P would cost exactly that.

As you already had Presonus (and, if you liked them), there are these: https://www.thomann.de/de/presonus_eris_e5.htm

Looks like a trip to Guitar Center next weekend to do some research - thanks again!
