Anyone have an opinion on the Alesis M1 Active Mk2? They are about $100 more than the studiophiles. Judging by what Jan Depner says, it seems like the studiophiles would be a better bargain, but, the specs on the Alesis monitors says the frequency range is 38Hz - 23.5kHz -- much wider than the studiophiles.
