A coworker is selling a pair of Event 20/20 BAS biamped studio monitors and letting me audition them in my home. The setup comprises the Event, a Mackie mixer and a laptop for source. The laptop is connected to the mixer with a cheap stock RCA via its headphone out. A pair of off the shelf XLR runs between the Mackie and Event. My current "audiophile" 2 ch system consists of 3.6 Magnepan ribbon speakers driven by a pair of Odyssey Stratos Extreme monoblocks.I am completely surprised of how good the Event monitors produce music. In fact, they outperform the Magnepan sytem in the transparency and image departments. All this for $400. I am seriously considering replacing the Maggie system with an active studio monitor rig. Any thought or recommendations?
