I am a student and I havent lots of money, but I want to spend 200 Euro... I

Countryman DI? that is the only box I can think of. If you are talking active electronics though, are you considering tube preamp?

I am talking about something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Behringer-EUROLIVE-B212D-Active-12-550-Watt-2-Way-PA-Speaker-/170888053196?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Speakers_Monitors&hash=item27c9b8c1cc#ht_761wt_1397
But this box has 550W and I read some bad review... So, I am afraid, that the box wont be good for me...
So, i want to ask you, if you dont know any active reprobox...
Thank you again

Oh, I see. An active speaker, aka a speaker that runs on power! LOL
Well...you probably read the bad reviews on the brand. They are very affordable though! Have you tried like QSC or Mackie?

How about Behringer? I have used and now own both the little pair and the big ones as well. Price vs value is fantastic.

BTW for all you acoustic folks active means a speaker which has its own amplifier, and weighs more than a passive speaker that needs an amp. For us keyboard users the pre-amp is in the keyboard. Active speakers are generally at line level but there are some into which you can also plug a mic.
