People,
I'm hoping to have some spare money in the not so distant future and am considering getting either some turntables (Technics 12s) or ICDXs
As well as that I want to get some decent speakers that I can connect to my DJMK2.
Any suggestions?

Uhm, "turntables or TCV" ? You need both if you want to play TCV`s (Time Coded Vinyls) :-)

lol it'll happen.
I'm happy with my TCV's, didn't take long at all for me to get mine. but that could vary due to location,
i'm on the usermap so it could give you a rough idea. i think it was like 5 days to 2 weeks i got mine,
i was shock on how fast they arrived.
but then again it's all in user preference, i never tryed the xp10,
im sure you'll get an opinion on that soon by someone who owns it or both tcv & xp10

I'm probably going to go for turntables with the TCVs and connect via the Hercules.
So next question - what turntables do I get - anything between £500 and £700 - that would also probably have to include speakers amongst that price.

Numark TT500 is a good option if you don't want to pay a lots of money for a technics mk5 (the best forever) - You have very new good options to take , cheap and good : Synq XTRM1/Omnitronic DD5250/Akiyama DJ4000 Acura/AMDJ HTD4.5/Stanton STR8-150/ST150/Citronic PD45/Reloop RP6000MK5/Reloop RP6000MK6 - All are the same , and works perfect -
I have 2 technics Mk5 1210 & 2 xp10 ...they are 2 different things , xp10 is the best controller with no doubt (with a very powerfull soundcard included ), but TCV are simply PERFECT - NOw you can see every dj has a controller , so maybe with TCV you can play in another league -

I'd go digital if I were you.

Ryan is correct. TCV is cool, but IMHO going digital is the best thing. I own two iCDXs and love them.

OK so if I went for the iCDXs would the Numark USB Mixer be suitable to connect speakers to?
Like these:

nah, I need some autheticity with my gear.
I had someone come round, and I gave them a demo with my DJCMK2 and VDJ - his comments were along the lines of - is this a game???
I was speechless.
hence why I'm probably getting these with the speakers...

Best of both worlds.

Nah, he'd drop me, if I tried!!!
I'm finding out that when people hear what I'm using - that they say DJ? - get real - you're just someone who cheats!!!
This still happens and we have DJs such as Sasha using Ableton Live for his sets. I don't think we'll be seeing people accusing him of cheating...

I am completely serious when i say this.
If i see a professional DJ, doing his job in front of 500 people or more, and he is using a Hercules DJ Console, i will laugh at him in his face. I will burn him to the ground. The Hercules IS a toy, no question about that. Any DJ that has the guts to call himself a DJ has to grow beyond the use of a rediculous toy like that.
I know i'm gonna get alot of comment about what i just said, but i don't care. This is how i think.

Agree with you though not as vigorously as that, hence why I'm willing to spend big dollar on getting what I shown.
I can see exactly where you're coming from hence why I have not done any gigs at all, because of that perception - whether harsh or not.
