Is anybody using Behringer B300 powered speakers? They are rated at 300 watts, and about 50 Lbs.

I saw them for $300 apiece, which seems like a good price for new factory sealed ones.

The question is how do they sound and compare to similarly spec'ed ones from Mackie, JBL, EV?

Thanks,
Alex

I would not consider behringer to be a major player in the studio monitor area .


KRK's are recommended . M audio has some nice monitors at an affordable price .

MSP5's and BX8's are worth looking out .


BTW .....are you using this with computer application or hard disk recorder ?

I have a pair of yamaha msp10's with the sw10 subwoofer and they rock bigtime!!!!!!!!! S.P.L. are incredible and all that is driving it is my psr2000....Listen to them...

The Behringer B300's are not near field monitor speakers but rather powered PA speakers like the Mackie SRM450 and the Yamaha MS300's. I sell Behringer speakers and mixers in my store and they offer a lot of bang for the buck.
They also make a pair of near field monitors called "Truth" and these are amazing for the price. They have been rated right along with the $1000.00 Mackies but these retail for $499.00 and sell for $399.00 a pair. They are bi-amped and have 175 watts to the woofer and 50 watts to the tweeter. I tried these out at NAMM and bought 6 pairs for my store. I was very impressed. They also came out with a powered mixer with 9 mic pre's plus 2 more stereo 1/4" channels, 250 watts rms per channel stereo powered mixer and 99 different effects for a Retail price of $379.00. That's a great value.

I have a three Behringer mics, and a small mixer. They are all excellent. I heard the B300s recently and they were very impressive. A little heavy though, 50+ pounds.
