Not really looking for advice here, cuz we've already troubleshot and emailed tech support (or an "incident report," as M-Audio calls it), but I thought I'd let you prospective BX8a purchasers know. He turned it on one day, and it made a popping noise, after which the power LED faded out, and then the monitor wouldn't turn on after we shut it off and tried again. We checked and saw the fuse had blown, so we swapped fuses multiple times, each time trying a different power cable/outlet, and each time it did the same thing, blowing each new fuse, so clearly something else is amiss. I've read about reliability issues with these, and here's a pretty good example! And the other monitor, which is plugged into the same power strip going (obviously) into the same outlet, is fine.
I know tons of people on here have 'em with (I assume) no issues, so that was the main reason I recommended he get 'em for his first pair, but just as an FYI to anyone that wants to get 'em, make sure to save your receipt(s)! Oh, and these are the Deluxes, btw...
