Summary:
Are you kidding me? I got these for $159!
2-way studio reference monitor. The B2031P ...extremely flat frequency response (55 Hz - 21 kHz) and can handle 150 Watts. Long-throw 8 3/4" woofer with a special polypropylene diaphragm, while a ferrofluid-cooled HF driver. 25 pounds each!
Ok, purchased these being very sceptical of the behringer name but I just like to buy gear and see how it performs then sell it. I'm keeping these. They come as matched paires and are packed well. The first thing I noticed is how heavy these are for the size! I set them up at my work with a Marantz 2270 and marantz cd player. Wow! What a great sound! Very transparent and detailed. However they like lots of power and my marantz was really up to par. I have a Behringer EP1500 amp that I estimate at least 250 watts rms. I like the amp but have had a hard time pairing up speakers to match its characteristics. The two are pefect with eachother. I can push these speaker to amazing levels without a hint of distortion. Very tight, accurate. Big sound. A hint of treble harshness, but can be easily adjusted.
I have better speakers than this but they are a lot more money. I cannot think of a better bookshelf for the money that I have listened too. They kill my Bay audio Bebops for alot less cash. Not everyone will like the look but the sound makes up for it.
