Looking for decent self-powered monitor that I can use on stage and when doing some live shows.

My buddy DJ Bunny is using the JBL. Pretty decent but pricey. Anyone used the Behringers?

I dont know but I just played a gig saturday night and the club was using behringer floor monitors... the most unclear mix that I've ever heard.
I wouldn't trust their speakers.
I'm sure that they make some decent products for the budget but then again you get what you pay for.

Luckily I ran my in ear monitors (e3c's)

Sound On Sound reviews monitors all the time.  I would check their site or pick up a few issues.

agreed, but I have never seen anyone roll in with there own monitor, unless they are actually doing the event and responsible for equipment?

The Best monitors I ever worked with was a pair of QSC's...they were self-powered and they hooked up directly to the pioneer mixer itself, so that was a plus(easy hook-up)
They were Crystal clear man! I forget what model they were, but still, I like QSC too.  laugh
