Rob,

Let's be fair. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but 
Behringer's quality control and reliability are by no means a lock. 
The company still has some proving to do before the odds are stacked 
in its favor, despite the fact that a few members of this group have 
had good luck with the KX1200. Buying a Yamaha monitor, purportedly 
designed expressly for its current kits, would not on the surface 
seem a terribly dangerous move (Yamaha's quality control and 
reliability have always been top notch), even though the specs might 
seem a little suspect for an e-kit. That Dan found the sound quality 
so bad is a bit of a surprise. I might have predicted that the bass 
would be thin and the volume inadequate for certain purposes, but 
even within those limitations, other sonic qualities might have been 
able to elevate it to respectability. It will be interesting to build 
a larger database about the various options.
