Guitar Center has a bunch of studio monitors set up and they'll plug anything you have into them to test them out. Yea I tested out studio monitors with a gameboy, and even though they looked at me like I was retarded they still did it.

After that, find a better deal online.

It's certainly considered normal to get to play whatever type of music you intend to play through a guitar amp before you buy it. If they won't let you do the same with studio monitors, don't give them your business. It's a normal and perfectly legitimate request.

I don't if the music stores here would like this, but I can sure try.

Considering that you'll be giving them a lot of money I think it would be in their best interests to let you play whatever music you want through them smile

My budget is about $300 considering I'm pretty broke at this point.

But vgx has some very good advice.

Your best bet really is to go to a musical equipment store and listen to some in real life so you can make a judgement for yourself about the sound quality. Make up a CD with a variety of music, not just chip tunes or electronic music, then play that on a bunch of different speakers. If you just buy a set online or something based on a recommendation without having listened to them you have no way of knowing if you'll actually like them.

Also consider the size of the room the speakers will be in when you're buying them, if you'll be using them in a small room like your bed room you'll want smaller speakers, if they're too big the bass will just overpower everything when you turn them up to a reasonable level.

I will say, however, that Behringer make some very colored monitors, in other words the bass and treble are hyped to make them sound good, so beware if you're considering getting them.
