Behringer TRUTH B2031A description:
The Truth B2031A is the substantially improved successor to Behringers best-selling B2031. It is a high-resolution, active 2-way reference studio monitor with XLR and 1/4" TRS servo balanced inputs that delivers very neutral sound and has an extremely flat frequency response (50 Hz - 21 kHz). It includes built-in 150- and 75-Watt power amps with enormous power reserve plus separately controlled limiters for low and high frequency overload protection. Tight, deep bass is provided by a long-throw 8 3/4" woofer with a special polypropylene diaphragm, while a ferrofluid-cooled HF driver guarantees clear and detailed highs.
The unique Behringer wave guide and the extremely low-distortion active crossover network with 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters produce an absolutely linear phase response with excellent sound dispersion and stereo imaging together with an extremely large sweet spot.

Ultra-linear frequency response from 50 Hz to 21 kHz with individual frequency diagrams.
Built-in 150 and 75 Watt power amps with enormous power reserve.

I got these which are ok, quite bassy & good clarity >> http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/2627

[MELODIZE]

Alesis are good studio monitors. Have a set myself. Go for the active mk 2's.

Would there be any point in having active monitors if you were purchasing a new amp?

[MELODIZE]

Generally Active monitors are less hassle with matching to suitable amps. Safer bet. But yes if you've got a good amp, sure go for the passives. I'm sure theres not much in it. Fantastic sound from them anyway and have plenty of gain on them to wack up if needed.

[dj raw]

behringer truths are what i have. alternatives are tannoy reveals, fostex pm1s, or pm0.5s or the alesis ones that melodize said.

all around £200-£300 for the pair for active (no amp required)
