Thanks for the advice. I'll try to have a listen to a pair somewhere. That was a small error earlier - I meant Alesis M One Mk2 Actives. The reason I'd like a pair of Mk2s is that two of my friends at University each had them, and I really liked the way that they sound. I have to be honest - the fact that they are made of materials like carbon fibre and pure silk (with blue LEDs) appeals to me too! The Behringers look comparable though (and a little cheaper too...)
