I have an opportunity to purchase a set of Event 2020 non-BAS powered monitors and a set of BAS. Does anyone know which is better?

Not so fast...
I first owned the 20/20 BAS (Had them for a year or two.)... I was SO sick of the little hum and noise coming out of them at all times and me not knowing if there ever was any hum or excess noise being generated elsewhere and going to tape because the monitors where ALWAYS doing that. I'd NEVER know!
After I bought a new power amp (for something totally unrelated), that was SO hum&noise-free even with the amp wide-open, I couldn't ditch my 20/20 BAS to buy the 20/20s... I haven't looked-back since!

What would have been cool would have been to let the registered users know this and offer them a trade-in or at least a discount.
