M-Audio BX8 Studiophiles vs. Event TR8-N Tuned Reference Monitors

[GeorgeG3]

Does anyone have strong opinions regarding one or the other of these products? • M-Audio BX8 Studiophile Powered Monitor Pair • Event TR8-N Tuned Reference Monitors I want to buy a pair of bi-amplified studio monitors for under $500 for a home studio. I am specifically looking at these two models. Has anyone compared these two models against each other? Obviously I know I need to go listen in person, but is anyone strongly pro or con either one of these specific models?

Thank you!
