So yesterday, I received my Alesis Monitor One MK2 monitors. They look super nice and are sturdy and well built. Also they are Passive! I never paid enough attention to the monitor specs (or the specs failed to convey this) but I need an Amplifier to be able to use them. After banging my head on the table for a good amount of time, I went ahead and ordered the Alesis RA-150 Amplifier off Full Compass. Full Compass is located very close to where I live and I believe is the only credible Pro Audio store around Midwest.

So my Amp is expected to arrive on Monday which leaves me with a whole weekend with my speakers which don’t function. Wonderful! :(
