I have the powered alesis monitors here and I hardly ever bother to turn them 
on.  Compared to the events, they seem to color the sound too much.  I'm 
surprised you would have too much low end.  They sound bottom heavy to me.

  I've been using Alesis Monitor 1 MKii amplified monitors and they seem to 
work well enough. Do you guys think the Events are better? I sometimes notice 
my mixes turning out a little bass heavy when I listen to them on regular 
stereo equipment after mixing on the Alesis monitors. I don't do any added EQ, 
but my sound is bassy and I have to roll off the bass on my stereo. It could be 
that my sounds are just that way out of the keyboards, though.

  I vote for events also.  I'm using the ev5's which truly are near field.  
Some monitors are advertised as nearfield but they are really too big for that 
in my oppinion.

    I really like the event stuff, very flat response, and uncolored.  They 
blew away the genelex, in my humble opinion.  There are several models, the 
20/20's are great, but for around $100 new, maybe $700 used, the sp8's are 
great.  They're biamped, so you have complete separation, and the crossover is 
great.  They don't get real boomy, which I like, but the low end is incredibly 
tight. 
    Hope this helps.

      Hey guys my little dinky stereo speakers are not cutting it when it comes 
to my sound quality.  Gee, that's surpising.  Anyway I amlooking to spend four 
hundred ish on moniters that have their own indepedant power supply.  I have a 
m audio moble pre sound card.  Any suggestions would be welcome.
