Does anyone on the list have an opinion on the quality of these monitors?

I have a pair of the older SP-5B studiophiles and I like them a lot.
You have to remember though that it's a 5" woofer so the low end cuts
off at somewhere between 56Hz and 80Hz. As long as you take that into
account they're fine. They're pretty much flat from 80Hz to 20KHz.

I asked because I am considering getting monitors for under $500, and I think
I've narrowed down my selection to the Studiophile BX5 or the Alesis M1
Active Mk2.
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.
Thanks.

I've never used the Studiophiles, but the Alesis are very good, one of
mine has just dies after two years heavy use, and is in the repair shop
now (blown powersupply), but in general they are very reliable.

Personally, I'd much rather have the Alesis monitors - I just didn't
have that much cash at that time ;-) Using the studiophiles I have to
compensate for that lack of bass response.

For $300 (pair) on sale at American Musical Supply (and possibly
free shipping)
http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-EVE-2020V2.html
are the Event 20/20 V2 Studio Reference Monitors, the specs are
shown on the page.
I have the prior version (V1 I suppose I now have to call them)
bought from AMS in Jan 98. Looking at the specs for the V2, the
only difference between the V1 and the V2 is"
V1-> 50Hz - 20kHz, +/- 2dB, Ref 500Hz
V2-> 50Hz - 20kHz, +/- 3dB, Ref 500Hz (note the +/- 3dB is the
only difference.)
oh, just saw some other differences.
1) In the Connectors section, the V1 only has the 5-way binding
posts. The V2 has in addition to the 5-way binding posts,
vinyl-laminated MDF Connectors.
2) The drivers (8" and 25mm) are now magnetically shielded.

That presumably makes them passive? I think the original poster wanted
actives.
Having gone to actives for my last pair myself I dont plan of going back,
its one less box to drop on your foot, and makes the wiring easier.
