Comments about Behringer Truth B1031A 150W 8" Active 2-Way Studio Monitor (Pair):
I use these mostly for video editing and voice-overs. They are clear, crisp and adjustable for room conditions. They could pump a little extra bass but it is acceptable for the size woofer and sitting on stands. I'll eventually add a sub. I hear instruments on recordings I have not heard until now. They will play extremely loud without distortion. Well built cabinets(heavy). Great value for the money.

Comments about Behringer Truth B1031A 150W 8" Active 2-Way Studio Monitor (Pair):
I picked up these speakers to provide amplification for my keyboard. I had previously tried keyboard amps but I wasn't very happy with them. Also, I really wanted two separate speakers.
For the money, and for this purpose this combo is unbeatable value. 2x150 watts (or 100 watts RMS), combined with the large (8") speakers make for speakers that sound good across the frequency range.
It doesn't hurt that they look great.
If I had to nitpick, I'd point out that they aren't easy to carry (no handles, quite heavy), and they aren't all as loud as one might expect. But given their intended use it's hard to fault them for that.

Besides being a really great price, for the PAIR of speakers, these 150 Watt powered Reference Monitors are everything Behringer says they are. The stereo imaging is so precise it is almost unbelievable. I bought some Auralex MoPad Monitor Isolation Pads and two 20' Live Wire TRS - XLR(M) Patch Cables (balanced), and the sound is clear, just, and precise. The casings on the monitors are made really well, and you can literally hold your hand on top of the monitor while music is playing and hardly even feel/sense the vibration from the speakers within. I recommend these for excellent sound representation in your studio. They way 25 lbs. each, so for [$] free shipping these are a steal.

Side by side with my KRK V8s series2 I am very impressed. Very smooth highs. Solid low end. Clear mids. Adjustable to taste.I have everything at "normal" but the room comensation does make a difference and could come in handy. Nothing bad to say at all.

When shopping for a pair of studio monitors, you look for speakers that are detailed, clear, and flat. The Truth B1031A monitors from Behringer are just that. Behringer has really stepped up their game with these speakers and I have already gotten great results mixing an album on these babies.
