For the same price, which would you choose?

Im looking at 3 sets of monitors that are currently going for about $500AU and I was just wondering which you guys would choose and why. There are:

*Wharfedale pro diamond 8.2a's
*Yamaha MSP10's
*JBL 4408a's

One point to note though is that the Wharfedales are the only new monitors in that list and the other two sets are second hand. Thanks.

I learned a lot reading this review.

An 8" woofer is really nice to have. I would probably get the JBL's myself.

I ended up with Event PS6 monitors for about $275 on eBay.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm leaning towards the JBL's. I mixed on a pair 4410a's today and was pretty impressed. $500AU is less than behringers (new) anyways so i cant really go too wrong i think (assuming the secondhand JBL's are in proper working order).

Even if they aren't perfect, JBL drivers are still pretty easy to get. I can still get new ones I believe for my 20 year old JBL monitors

Yamaha MSP10's for $500AUD?!? Where can you get them for that for?

Ebay, I'm sure they're probably going for a lot more than that by now though!!
