Hello,
i am debating on whether or not it would be worthwhile to upgrade my current 5 speakers to studio monitors. I currently am running the BB Insignia bookshelf speakers for my fronts and rears and have a Speaker Company center channel. For subs i have two DIY sound splinters powered by a tapco juice 1400.
The Insignias sound decent but they seem to lack a bit in the music department. I have stumbled on a few threads about using studio monitors and the Behringer's seem to be a good choice. I was thinking about picking up two pairs of the Behringer 2030P and running just three for the front stage. Would it be ok to use the Behringer 2030P for a center channel? I have heard that the studio monitors are good for "near field" listening but the behringers are good for home theater use. My room is roughly 18' x 18' and is semi closed off to the kitchen. Which model would be the best, behringer truth 2030P or 2031P? Is it ok to use one as a center channel or what would be a good match up to use?
The main use is movies and gaming on the PS3. Alot of rockband and guitar hero
