I need some help with finding the right speaker/amp system for me...?

Basically i am a teenage boy who is into making music or producing as some people may know it. At the moment i am trying to build up a studio, so far i have a midi keyboard and midi electric drum kit. I also have an alesis mixer and a very bad guitar amp i am using for my drum kit. I am using a computer with cubase software and it is all working perfectly. Now the time has come for me to upgrade my guitar amp speaker set up to a decent set up. For my set up i would like a fairly cheap kit including passive speakers and an amp or even active speakers but i'd also like the quality that a producer needs to make music. I have had my eye on the jbl control series but hav'nt really researched them yet. My budget for this is around £150 but this is flexible, i know this is alot to ask and it is a very small budget but as i said i am a teenage boy any answers will be very gratefully accepted and i thankyou just for reading all of this in the first place

do youmean a guitar amp or speakers fro mixing and music production in genral

first of all this is great question because if you make music, you don't want anything to do with "speakers". instead you want "monitors".

thats a page i made for beginers, you might like alot of it but for the information you are asking for right now:

click that link and scroll down to the heading :MONITORING CHAIN HYPE

UNDER THIS HEADING is a thorough explantion as to why monitors are needed instead of speakers, also is a buyers guide for monitors. you should be able to get some nice near feild monitors for 150.

good luck, hope my page helps.
