Non-expensive studio monitors...

Nah I understand that. It's just MSRP is usually an unusually high estimate, and quite frankly if I ever had to pay MSRP for anything I'd be a tad bit upset.

MSRP isn't an estimate, it's the price. If you've found it for less through a third party. good on yah! I'm not here to debate pricing schemes. I'm just letting you know, in ANY gear post I make I will always refer to MSRP. It's up to you to find it for cheaper if you want.

Yeah there are actually loads of Guitar Centers around here. Which is nice. The only thing is looking at reviews for those M-Audio's a couple people bitch about them going bad after a few months... any idea?

I've had mine for years, and they work fine.
