I have been using a loaned pair of Monoprice 5-inch Powered Studio Monitor Speakers (pair) for about a month now, and can say that they are just as good as the BX5's they copy, at less than 1/2 the price with S&H when on sale. They at times drop to $135 for the pair, you just need to keep checking back.

Tho Mac IS knowledgeable about such things, some speakers are not good for bass heavy stuff like HipHop, R&B...anywhere there is a lot of low end info, and these fall into that category. But for everyday pop, rock, country, etc these work well.

I WILL be getting a pair of these in the future for sure!! grin cool
