I just bought a pair and I was having a 60 cycle hum. Now every good tech knows its a ground problem. But when we opened up the speakers we found disconnected wires and a problem that causes the hum so dont go crazy checking your facility for the bad ground, maybe its just bad manufacturing.

I bought them recently, I had a choice between them KRK's and M-Audio. I compared all of them and EVENTS TR8 had the best sound. If You're a music producer or whoeverz these monitors are great purchase for good money.

I've just hooked them up to my KB37. I have a PreSonus HP4 headphone in front, and the whole thing is balanced. I've been mixing for 20 years. I've had a variety of speakers, I'm selling my NS10Ms to pay for these. These speakers completely rock. They sound amazing. I'm pretty sure they will mix true - they are rated very flat. There's a slight bump in the lower mids, but it's very predictable. The only thing I have heard that are better then these are the Genelecs. These blow the Mackie HR824s away -- really I promise I have A/Bed them. These are quiet, loud as heck, and have alot of punch. I just cranked Van Halen I and played all the bass parts just for fun!

awesome monitors

Reviewer's Play Style: soundtracks

The Tr-8s don't actually overly "tune" the sound, at least compared to the 20/20 BAS model, although they do brighten the highs a tad and actually leave the bass flatter and clearer than 20/20s. I think that's actually a good thing when working on products that are intended for a mass audience, but which will never get a proper mastering job, such as game audio. I've owned both models for a few years, and both are equally great for most applications. That being said, you can't beat the value of the TR-8s. The only bummer is the lack of a power switch on the front. Call me lazy, but it's meant that I've frequently left my monitors powered on for months at a time.

Best Monitors I've Ever Owned

I don't know what some of these people are talking about. ALL monitors will pick up interference without proper shielding and power conditioning. However, I've experienced none of these issues. The quality of sound and mixing properties of these speakers is absolutely AMAZING. I've had them for over a year and they are the best piece of equipment I own.
