I got a pair off of ebay for around $250, so I'm not really complaining...and I know I'm asking for it if I buy used, but I love their sound. I don't have a lot of experience with anything else (upgraded from krk rockit 5's). However, they do seem to have a pretty constant buzz....called a guy from a repair company and he mentioned the possibility of the amps being the problem. The buzz doesn't seem to affect the sound, but I hope it doesn't lead to bigger problems down the line!
