I love my Event monitors that I have hooked up to my computer... They are 
over kill but at the store where I work, I saw these speakers (and heard 
them) and fell in love... They are the best speaker for the money and really 
sound good. They are a reference monitor 20/20 bais that is bi-amped at 
300watts a side. Killer Sound!!!
