i plan on buying these because i can have them brand new for 285 €, which seems like a total bargain... anyway, i know that they aren't exactly monitoring speakers due mainly to their sound coloration and probably other thing too... but i would like to know your opinion on this, knowing i'll buy better ones in the long run anyway (probably mackie or jbl...) when i'll have more money to throw. for now i just need something doing the job in a small/medium sized room without costing me too much, but i don't want to spend 280€ on something i'll regret for 1 or 2 years... so tell me what do you think of them and/or what else would you recommend, thanks a lot! |

I will be googling this because i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about but i do find it quite interesting |

I was planning on buying these about a month ago. Ive never heard them before but the best thing to do would be to bring a cd with a not-so-good mixed song and a really well mixed song on it. Then test the speakers and if the not-so-good song sounds like total shit and the well mixed sounds amazing then get them. however I ended up getting the KRK v6 Series 2 monitors. They are so fucking great! KRK is the shitz |

good call, i heard many wonders about them... unfortunately they are out of my price range at twice the 2030a's price for ONE speaker! :( it sucks that i don't have a bit more money to buy these now, or fostex's mp1 anyone got any suggestions? |

yeah don't get the 2030s...if somebody is charging 285 for one you can tell them to shove it up their ass...they cost 300 for two. and secondly, go with the 2031s they are way better and way nicer...but really fuck behringer...the 2031s are nice and sound really good, but everything else behringer makes is complete shit. go buy some used alesis monitor ones and a cheapo power amp...that'll cost ya like 150. |

well no, it is 285 for the pair, the v6 are like 400+ for one but they are way better off course the alesis monitor one arnt that nice imo but second hand speakers might be a better aproach indeed on the subject of behringer (should be a topic on its own :D) i think since a few years they do some quality stuff but nothing outstanding. some products does indeed suck, but they have many cheap/good thing for the amateur or beginer imo |

:D i should have done that in the first post,thanks... you can see they are 338€ for belgium tax included, that is a 53€ reduction that the shop is doing me. but maybe i'll spare a little more to get the 2031a's, more bass and a cleaner sound apparently, but i won't have the big reduction so i don't know still... nobody knows of an obscure brand? because i probably know of all the classic choices for that price now. |

behringer ... no way .. any series Think about alesis mk2 active they sound grate litle too much bass but for the money u cant buy better.. |

i found a pair of alesis monitor one (i think it's the passive one) for 130€ i don't know which one is the better choice considering i'll have to buy an amp matching the alesis, and i don't know what specification to look appart from the power, dunnon what the total costr will be either... help me! :D ps: there is also a pair of jbl 4412a (passive), these are 199€ which seems like nothing... |

i would recommend the Fostex PM1's. I listened to a lot of monitors and these were ,to my ears, the best (also liked the krk's but found them a little top endy). Behringer make crap, highly coloured, easily broken, monitors. |

dont know, my friend has alesis ra150 with al. monitor one. and works fine but active and passive series sounds different. with monitor one u cant hear nothing under 100hz. good luck |

Someone explain passive vs. active plz k thx. |
||||||||

active monitors have a built in amp, passive monitors don't. |

the are a good set of cheaper active monitors. they're £179.99 GBP (that's about 260 EUR) on this particular site. |

thanks all... the fuckers at cash converters had already sold the alesis and the jbl (it was two different shop) without removing the ad from the site! i hate them for giving me false hopes... modular: these are the ones i would like if i had more money, but maybe i'll buy them one at a time. :D mylittlesister: that's cheap in fact, but they probably don't have much bass due to the 5" woofer, but it's an option indeed, i should listen to all these in the same room to form an opinion. on active monitoring: note that i read some papers about the advantages of passive monitors but i can't find them for now. mackie is probably too biased toward the active solution. |
