I'd stay away from Behringer. A7 is much more than 350 isn't it? Heard Event are ok, i would go for alesis in a really tight budget, but i don't have any monitor experience, just reading around

ok, from my experience TRUTH's are a bit harsh but people do use them..
the ADAM's have greatest reputation in electronic music making.
the ROCKIT series, imo, are like buckets that make random sounds.

If you can afford ADAM, then forget about the rest.

Behringer is out of the question. KRKs will be fine for your first monitors..they've done a lot with the second generation of Rokits, but saving for the a7's will be worth it in the long run.
You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

or have a look at the event tr8 or also the tapco s8 (tapco is a subsidiary of mackie)...
both far better than the behringer and also quite cheap! |

I really like the A7s a lot... but I also had the KRKs and was really really suprised at the clarity of the mixes I was doing on them. I've owned Mackie 824s and the Alesis m1s and other stuff, and for the money the KRKs are actually quite nice...
If you have the money or can wait a little bit longer to get them, the Adams are frackin worth it. But if you are impatient or on a fixed income, I like the adams... I got to hear the tapco ones very recently, I think at Brain Train's house, and they are pretty nice, but I can't give a professional opinion on them yet.

Behringer are not at all out of the question. They are good for the price and definitely allright for electronic music. I find them pretty equal to the KRK mentioned here, with one difference, the price tag!
