Quick Impressions: M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe Active Monitors

[Ajani]

So, I was checking out a local Pro Audio Store (Audiofon Systems Ltd.) and came across the M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe Active Monitors.

I did a quick audition using some reggae and simple female acoustics provided by the sales rep. Anyway, the interesting thing for me is that this simple audition was the first time in some time i've been impressed enough with an audio product that I'd actually buy it.

The M-Audios just sounded right for me. I've been interested in active studio monitors for some time now, but this was a first chance to listen to a pair. At $600 for the pair I think I'm going to treat myself to them.

I'll update this thread with a proper review after I've bought them. In the meanwhile, I'd love to hear from anyone with experience using active pro audio speakers.
