If you are, or have tried them with the KPA, what do you think? What are the Pro's and Con's? Are more expensive monitors really going to yield much better results? I'm playing strictly at home for my own pleasure. I'm not recording.

They work well for many males, I had the BX8A and I really liked them. If they are turned up too loud, they tend to fall apart but for lower volumes I had no problem with them.
-
I'm looking at 8" active monitors as well...
I was considering the M-Audio's too but also these 2:

I remember trying a couple of those along with two Genelec 8030 in a Roman famous store. At one stage, the guy at the store smiled at me and said "now I'll show you a trick..." and cut bass away from the Genelec. The two pairs sounded identical LOL

I am using a pair of BX8. They sound good if placed well in a room but you need to keep them away from the wall. I find the rear ports to be pretty sensitive to speaker placement.

I have the bx5a and they are not that good.
Also thinking of getting some that are 8"Let us now if you decided on them, how they work out.

I bought the BX8 D2's from Guitar Center on sale for $299. They actually sound pretty good. I read reviews that said the newer D2's are a big improvement over the older models that had a flabby bass. I really didn't have much time with the BX8's before leaving for Florida for the winter. I ordered a pair of Equator D5's for Florida because of limited space. The Equator D5's are highly rated by many recording publications and are only sold directly by Equator for $299 Per Pair.

I'm also looking for a good replacement for my m audio.
Direct sell from equator is 299$=231€. Thomann sells them for 450€
Did anyone in europe buy these? If so, what where the additional costs? Customs? Import costs?
-
what where the additional costs? Customs? Import costs?
From US to Germany you have VAT and Import duties = 25 percent, roughly.

That would still be allot cheaper then thomann.
Around 288 then.I have send equator a mail, no answer yet.
edit: Thanks
