My BX8s arrive today, so i will post a review after my initial impression(though most monitors take some time to really start sounding good).
my current setup is an old technics class A integrated amp powering two Dayton monitors i made from a kit.
these dayton monitors(6.5" drivers, silk dome tweeters) only set me back $150, and sound very good to my inexperienced ears.
i'll do some A/B testing - i'm hoping to use both for the optimal setup, but we'll see how things go.
