Hello all!
I'm looking at the Event Studio Precision 8's to replace my current
Berhinger Truth (don't ask) monitors.

I already have a nice Hafler amp that puts out about 125w/ch and I don't
mix at high levels as a rule. I also have a Samson amp that puts out
around 150w/ch and to be honest I don't hear any difference between it and
the Hafler although the build quality of the Hafler is much better.
I know Samson has a miserable reputation, but.......

So my question is, should I go with the Event actives @ $1,100/pair on
sale at GC or go with the passives @ about $650/pair at Swee****er (I
think that price is a wee bit high!).

I have an older set of the 20/20 BAS, and I love for listening and home
theater, but there's been a lot posts pointing out that the mixes don't
translate well to other speakers, and I have to agree with them. My mixes
just don't sound right anywhere but my own room (which also needs better
treatment, probably true for most rooms).

I'm looking at Blue Sky and Truth Audio for my next set. I was hoping to get
a set of Dynaudios, but the budget is slipping away for them.
