Hi,
Perhaps for this price range, active speakers would be most cost effective? Pro monitors are cheaper compared to their hifi equivalents?

I may be wrong but I don't think you get Pro Monitors for that money.
Industrial looking and probably equally bad sounding bedroom DJ Chinese boxes yes. Personally I'd stick to Hifi at this price. A little NAD or Marantz Amplifier with some decent budget speakers should be entirely possible, depending on what's available where the OP resides.
Second hand you may be able to buy some older active Dynaudios. At least you know you get some sort of quality. You may be able to get some ex display Adam actives, the ones with the ribbons, they are not bad.
Unless the OP says how big the room is, features and volume required etc etc its probably difficult to make any meaningful suggestions.
