Didn't say I didn't agree they're just not build 4 that.. I know of a couple of people who on the mid run got burned tweeters and loose woofers!

On a budget for nearfield monitoring I would also go 4 the M1 MK2 (or on a tighter budget the Tapco's), it's what I have aswell But I wouldn't us'em 4 mixing.. Luv' em 2 much...

At the shop we have a DJ booth room that we rent by the hour and I know the sort of punish people subjected the M1a that's why we went 4 the BX8 (now we've added a sub).. we're talking 150 Rms agains the 105 of the M1... I agree that the sound isn't comparable but 4 maximum punish (like most people do) these turned out more sensible...

On the other room we have Monitor 2's!?!

on the "studio" we have Event TR6, M1 Mk2... waiting 4 the Tapco's 4 a trial period!
