Hey all,
I'm in the market for some monitors and came across the Tapco S8 monitors (apparently made my Mackie) locally for $999AUD. They didn't sound to bad across the spectrum, if a little muddy through the lower end. Stereo imaging seemed quite nice from the short demo i had.
Has anyone else used/owned/heard of these and have any comments or advice? I'm having trouble finding reviews (which may or may not be a bad sign).

Oh yes.New Guy wrote:well i have the event ALP5 and i love em - actually, im used to them now and know how they sound, Events are very good!
My friend's old 20/20's always surprise me. So clean. But then his neighbor's Adams turn you into a puddle of drool on the floor... these are fucking hot (yes expensive too).

i know the events are gold standard, but i like the maudio bx8a best. cheaper than event--easier on the ears, too. and neither are perfect anyway. tapcos are not so fun to listen to. i'm wary of anything mackie-related that's not called mackie.
but if for serious studio use, try to find a pair of the smaller (15"?) genelecs on ebay. quality.
