M-Audio AV30

Avid members,

1. I'm about to purchase a pair of monitors for my workstation at home. I use the fast track audio interface with pro tools 11 on a toshiba laptop 12gb of ram i7 processor and a 1tb hard drive (1tb wd passport external). What do you guys think of this buy? http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Studio...audio+monitors or how about SONY? http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SS-B1000-...=sony+speakers

Reason for purchase is obviously i don't have any speakers but the sound coming out of my extended monitor (Samsung TV) and iphone headphones i connect to the fast track.

I remember going to my boy's studio, he'd use one button (I'm pretty sure it was the direct monitor button) to simulate from when the artist was to record and make the sound come out of the headphones while using the same button to mix the sound and make it come out of the speakers. I'm i making the right choice? will i need any other cables but these: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cables-to-use-2.jpg ? thanks

2. Also Albee suggested M-Disc media External drive. I'd like to check it out but all I find is this https://www.google.com/search?q=m-di...ernal&tbm=shop, any updates on those? thanks
