Behringer Truth B2031A

#1

Hello,

I am in the process of designing my studio. (Design thread here: https://www.digistar.cl/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1229). I currently have an Alesis RA-100 amp and Alesis Monitor One speakers but to date I have only used them in small rooms. My studio will be approximately 22' x 26' with a 10' ceiling. My intention is to start with this kit and if I ever run out of power I can upgrade. Here is the specs:

That said, I would have an opportunity to buy a pair of used Behringer Truth B2031A in excellent condition at a good price, and I have read positive reviews. Here are the specs:

In theory, I should get more bass with the Behringers, and that might be a good thing since I don't have a sub. But is it really worth it? Should I jump on this deal?

Note: My speakers will not be flush mounted.

Thanks!
Stef

the B2031 does quite nicely in soffits as well. so if they're fully functional i go with those.

Thanks Glenn. In the end, I bought them.

I plan to place them on either side of my desk, which is 6 feet wide. Behringer says they are near-field monitors. If the sides of the triangle measure 7 feet, will that be okay?

yep. that should be a good starting point. then plan to tweak positions slightly to get the best response. typically you'd want the desk video monitors behind the speaker plane (assuming the slight > on the desk is your video monitors)

Thanks! You're right, they're the video monitors. But they won't be placed as shown in the plan. Last year I did a simulation with my equipment and by placing the video monitors at the back of the desk, I can place the studio monitors even with the video monitors or slightly further forward.

slightly forward would be good.
