Take a look at the Samson stuff. I love my Rubicons and they come in at a great price. They even have monitors with built in Ipod docks

Donny,
I have been using M-audio BX5a speakers for he past 2 years with my PSR3000 and they do a really good job. Cost was about $300.00 at GC. If you need more sound they have the BX8a speakers but they run about $500.00. Go give them a try - you might be very pleased.

HI:

I have the M Audio BX8s (more than $400.00) they perform very nice....and ALSO have the Behringers Truth 2031As.... the Pair for only $339.00 and they have nothing to be shame, Simply put best bang for the money and 2 way 8 inch woofer and tweeter. Great!.

Thanks everyone for the help, upon Frankieve recommendation I went with the SAMSON RUBICON 6A's they should be just what I need.

I can't find the freq response on the Rubicons. I'm more interested in 8 inch drivers, because I need the low end, but I am not seeing the specs anywhere on the freq response and +- curve.

They say that the Behringer B2030A is 75% of the quality of a professional monitor at 20% of the price.

Behringer gear I'm not fond of at all....

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.
