M-Audio BX5a or Swan M200?

I've listened to the BX5a's, and did not like them at all.

I have, however, had the Behringer 2030Ps recommended to me. They have incredibly flat frequency response and very low distortion, and while they do need an external amp, they are quite cheap at $130/pair.

I personally like the Bx5a for the price i paid ($100 used) The highs are fantastic imo but the mids and bass are a bit muddy, but thats to be expected for speakers of that price range.
