Truth Monitor
These are OK. There are other options in this price range that I think would be better options. I really like Behringer for the cost/benefit ratio they usually provide. I have some Behringer gear that I love and will never sell as it has become an essential part of my sound while many other high-end peices of gear have come and gone. But on these monitors, i don't trust my mix. I use other monitors as a reference many times just to check, and I guess I don't like feeling like I have to do that. The primary thing I notice is that they are pretty bassy, so I tend to cut. Then when I play through a car or home stereo as a final audit, I wish I would have left the bass in. These will work, and I do use them everyday. i guess once you learn thier deficiencies, you automatically compensate for it, but just feel that these could be more accurate. Not a bad buy, but I don't "Just love them". Bear in mind, I am not an audio mastering engineer, or a pro studio engineer either. A pro might come into my studio and advise that it is because how I have my room set up, or that I need acoustic treatment here or there regardless of what monitors I am using. I also find my only pair of recording headphones, the AKG Studio 240s bassy as well. So I have often wondered if it is just me? But, I know and can identify even balanced flat sound from trusted audio sources. Based on my experience with these, regardless of brand, in the future, if I were to replace these, I will likely go down to a 5" speaker to mix and monitor with.

A comparing review
I'm giving 5 stars because I have not heard higher end monitors above this price point in my life, so I can only compare B2031A with B2030A which I also own.
When putting both aside on a A/B comparison, the result is unbelievable!!
The B2030A sounds canned and strange!
I've not read on the internet this kind of differences between the two, but they are surely different, and B2031A sounds much much better, surely worth the difference in value.
I've tested the all 4 speaks on all, so if it a problem with my B2030A, it is the same with both...
Choose wisely!

Wonderful
After almost one year using these wonderful studio monitors, I am still as happy as when I received them. Solid, noiseless, elegant, you won't regret.
These must be the best balance between low price and excellent quality available in the market today.

impressive
Now I know what linear sound reproduction is.
In the past I did have 3 way towers with tube amp, and they sounded great. Current ones also sound great, but differently – they are not “colored” by tube amp and absolutely non-linear frequency response.
These are neutral and very precise. I thumb through my music collection and noticed how many details I did not hear before. Very impressive.
Listened through NI KA6 DAC at 24/96.
ps. I am not a sound engineer, but music/movies lover.
Bought a pair of this after "youtubing" reviews by real music producers.

Favorite.
Well... it's my second pair. I think it's a very good choice quality vs. price. I am carrying them around with my setup for my personal monitoring satisfaction. I love how they don't need a sub to deliver proper bass. I have one issue, thou... some radio signals are being captured by the amps and freak me out every now and then with a sudden 2 sec high volume noise blast.

This is a pleasant surprise
I bought this a couple of years ago due to budget constraint. 8 years on, they still work well! They may not be the best around, but considering the price, I got much better than I expected. From my experience, they are not best to use for monitoring during mixing. So I used them primarily for monitoring when recording tracks, and for playing back my mastered tracks.

I was so happy to hear the sound from 2031A
I didn't even think that the quality sound would come out of this kind of thing. In terms of price, which is its quality, in my opinion, my advice to all interested persons is that it is the best choice. I give to this item +++++ star
