My RogerSoundLab JBL studio monitor knock-offs. Wow, they were sweet. Sold them for $125/pair including the matching stands.

Tholt, thanks for the clarification. My opinion of the Ref 8 (or Ref 8.02) won't change. Try the 9V2SE, or not. I've beaten the suggestion to death.Good luck with your search.
