Yeah, I guess what I meant was don't expect PA style thumping bass out of them. That said, for monitors, they pump pretty darn well.

I own a pair of JBL Control 25 Passive monitors.
I run them through a Cambridge Audio 350A Amplifier.
I use M-Audio BX5a monitors and I was very surprised by the quality! The bass is full and the overall sound is perfect. Very compact as well.

Bought a Mackie SRM150 so I'll be able to tell you if they are ok as personal PA monitor
--------------
Verdict
Returned it. Nice idea. Sound doesn't kick enough. Or sound great at all.

Excellent for both mixing and production.
In the market for a set of monitors with a budget of around £250.
These m-audio's seem to come recommended, can anyone suggest anything else for that sort of price which are as good

The Behringer Truths B2031As, in my experience, have better sound than the BX8as after comparing both in Guitar Center. The BX8as were overly bassy and not as clear to my ear.
Sample them yourself if you can.

I'm not sure how you'd compare two different sized monitors from the same manufacturer to determine which sounds "better" - really depends on what your needs are, non? The b2030a is smaller version of the b2031a - check the specs sheet, which covers both models, on the Behringer site.

For the price, the 2031A's are great. As mentioned earlier, though.. don't plan on mixing for a party or something where you need a lot of power to overcome other noise. They're perfect for studio use, though. Plenty of power- great sound.
