I know nothing about using cheap speakers as monitors, but the idea
is appealing.  I'm about to spend ~$800 on a pair of Event1 20/20bas
biamped monitors (flat and powerful over entire spectrum).  It would
be nice to have a 2nd cheap pair for doing that A-B thing.

Anyone else have good experience with using consumer "hi-fi" speakers
for mixdown?
