Update on buying monitors. The event tr8s were on back order for so long, I gave up. I ordered a pair of Rokit RP8s but I just didn't feel right about them so I cancelled the order. After more listening and research I fell across a pair of Hafler trm6.1 for like $600 for the pair - I am so psyched. I should get them in the mail I'll let you all know what I think.

P.s. On listening to the Event TR8s - at Guitar Center, they just didn't seem to have a clean sound to them. There was like a constant subtle hiss. I'm a newbie to this. the salespersn didn't say anything - does anyone know if that's how they are or if maybe there was something wrong with them? It was very very subtle. But compared to the Rokit's, the latter seemed much cleaner.
