I have MMG's with a studio amp-Alesis $360 no fan, big fins. I've never heard the A500 but with mixers I haven't been impressed with Behringer's quality. Keep in mind, the MMG's need alot of break-in before they yield decent bass.

Jim:
Which Alesis amp do you have? I have used Crown amps to great effect, but had to mess with silencing the cooling fans... Alesis; big fins, you say? I'd love to try it!
Oh, in re: to Behringer stuff: I have used several of their products in my home studio and found them to be good value for money. I've never gigged out with their equipment, so I can't say how it would hold up under those conditions. :-)
At the risk of raising someone's bloodpressure (they make pills for that), I have the Alesis RA500. Big fins might be an exaggeration but I push it and it stays fairly mild heat-wise. Nice traps by the way. I have a 5-pc. Pearl Session set with Zildjians.

He's buying speakers and an amp so what do mixing boards have to so with it?
I was commenting on my experience with Behringer. I'm sure the level of Q.C. pertains to the entire line.

I own three Behringers including the EP1500 amp and have never had a problem with them.
I don't think it's fair to damn a whole product line just because you had problems with a mixing board.
The nice thing about Behringer amps is it's easy to get a 15 (B&H) or 45 day (Musician's Friend) home trials to see if you like them.
Behringer gear seem to attract a great deal of bias, some of it deserved among the pro audio crowd. They have reputation of reliability issues on some product lines and copying other companies designs.
I have used their DCX2496 crossover in a few installations, and found it to be a really good product at the price point.
The Behringer amplifier line is really more of a consumer level product, rather then a professional amplifier. For professional amplifiers I would strongly suggest either the QSC or Crown products.

So if we're not consumers, what are we? :O)
