Are Alesis Monitor Ones Crap

[Vision_1]

I've considered purchasing the Alesis Monitor Ones, but I noticed that on all the bid sites everyone is selling their Monitor Ones. Are the Monitor Ones garbage, or is this pure coincidence? I would appreciate your input on this matter.

I think I'm gonna just play it safe and get the Mackie HR824. I hate to kick out the loot, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks

Yes they are, but not as crappy as the Point 7.

Oh Colleague of great VISION-1:

I have a pair of Alesis I monitors in my studio and they are just average, nothing spectacular; however, I also have a pair of Infinity Towers hooked up to my rig too; so, I get a pretty good playback if I mix the stuff right.

If the I's fit your budget, they will be all right but there are much better monitors out there if you care to open your wallet.

Hay Ed,
(just one quick, annoying question)
You have the 2020p's, don't you. How do you think they compare to the 2020bass? better or worse. I have the 2020bass and so far have few complaints, despite some of the bad comments around.

sonusman, would you recomend getting the passive 20/20's or the active. Are there any drawbacks to getting active speakers? thanks

[Vice1]

Can you recommend a moderatly priced, but good, power amp to use with the 20/20p's.

Thanks

I just read that you use a Halfler P-3000. Is this what you use at echo star? Or for personal use? Or both?
Thanks
