oops, sorry about that, thanks big blue bear. I believe I'm leaning a little towards the event 20/20. I want a decent monitor that won't have me thinking about upgrading in the immediate future. The 8 inch woofer should give me some low end to where i should have to worry about purchasing a sub anytime soon. It says the monitors are direct field (is there a difference between that and near-field?). Only problem is once again, I won't have a chance to audition them (not in area), but I get a 30-day return on them just in case, so there's no loss. SPINSTERWUN if you're out there, or anyone else has a pair of these, please let me know what you think of them. Until then guys, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
