I own those monitors and I find them to be a little to colorful for critical mixing, but very easy to listen to. I do most of my tone setting and mixing on alesis monitor one mk2's, but I find that while tracking for long periods of time listening to the alesis can cause quite a bit of ear fatique and fustration since they are so flat and honest. So once levels and tones are set on the alesis's I switch to the 65a's for the long periods of capture. Then by the end of the session, when it's time for a rough mix, its not as rough since I haven't been listening to the alesis all day. Buying studio monitors is sort of the opposite of buying house speakers. You kinda don't want them to sound good (color the music) Whatever the speaker adds, your mixes will lose. But only for mixing so I feel it's good to have both a speaker you love and a speaker you hate. Over all to me they make a great tracking monitor,but they make me a little too comfortable with what I'm hearing for critical final mixing. I like a speaker to make me work for that. Hope this helps and isn't a bunch of stuff you already know.
