Hi all,
Ok so my current setup goes from my strat using the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable into my PC from there I split it to 1 small 3w portable bluetooth speaker (as a center speaker) and through a mini hi-fi into its speakers which are 60w. What I've done is balanced the volume between the speakers by ear and made sure there is no eq running on the hi-fi. I play through Amplitube or TH2 depending what I'm after.
Now my questions are 1. is there anything wrong with practicing like this? And 2. I'm looking at getting either a small practice amp or trying to find some cheap monitors, which would be better for me? I understand that monitors are designed for recording and not to sound good, but could I use them to replace my current speakers?
I'm trying to build up a nice versatile system for home practice, as I really don't have much cash to throw at this stuff, and im planning on getting a bass guitar soon so would like to be able to play through the same setup. I hope this is making sense to people.

If you want to play guitar and bass through the same rig, I would go the monitors route.
While the realtone cable is not ideal, it's fine for practicing. 99% of my guitar playing is done through my interface to my monitors using amp sims.
You can practice anyhow you like, and there is no wrong way to do it insofar as you don't need a pro listening set up to hear yourself practice.
