The Electro-Voice Sx100 speakers are okay too, and reasonably ****table.
Stay
away from *anything* made exclusively for Guitar Center. In fact, stay
away
from Guitar Center as much as you can.

There I disagree with Scott. If you want to avoid masssive feedback
problems, decent monitor speakers matter. Yamaha's wedges are decent.
Electro-Voice's 100S speakers, now discontinued, also make decent monitor
speakers, but if you buy these from e-bay, budget $80 each for reconing,
because almost ineveitably either the woofer or the tweeter's blown.
