I have sold more Behringer Truth B2031A powered monitors than all the other brands I carry. The reason is..........
8" woofer, 210Watts per side of power, bi-amp technology and the price is $339 for the pair!
Of the hundreds of pairs I've sold over the past 4 years, I've maybe seen 2 come back with a problem and Behringer replaces anything sold for the first year.
I've sold these to high end studio musicians and local performers who use them at home or on gigs.

George,

I agree for the money they are awesome, but I did find they have a port noise huff on certain bass frequencies, and the tweeter can get bitey on certain freq for my ear, but overall one of the better bangs for the buck

The Behringer's only go down to 50 HZ? for an 8-inch speaker, that's not very impressive imo. A bass guitar goes lower than that. Of course in reality they might sound better than the specs would indicate. But the new Tascam VL-a8 monitors go down to 30 HZ. That's a huge difference. Even their 5 inch monitors go down to 38 HZ, which is still a hekc of a lot lower than 50. Again, specs aren't everything, but I'm just a little surprised that Behringer's 8's only go down to 50. FM radio goes down to 40 for heaven's sake.

If your gonna mix heavy bass laden Hip Hop music etc the 8" are better but for my needs the 6" will be more then enough.
