I asked because I am considering getting monitors for under $500, and I think

I've narrowed down my selection to the Studiophile BX5 or the Alesis M1

Active Mk2.  
Anyone have an opinion on the Alesis M1 Active Mk2?  They are about $100 more

than the studiophiles.  Judging by what Jan Depner says, it seems like the

studiophiles would be a better bargain, but, the specs on the Alesis monitors

says the frequency range is 38Hz - 23.5kHz -- much wider than the

studiophiles.
Thanks.
