I'd personally probably get active speakers. Tell me if you find some
nice ones ;)
However, if your current soundcard is insufficient that alone won't
help.
I got me the edirol UA-25, which is in about the same league as the
tascam-122, usb 2 channel, and it works fine as far as I can tell,
but, it may have too many features for your needs.
Others in the same league are the alesis io2 I think and at least one
other were I can't remember the name. Maybe you can find my thread at
the lau list.
