Best budget speakers for Yamaha Motif XS8?

I'm going to buy the best-sounding synthesizer in the whole world, Yamaha's Motif XS8. So I'll need good active monitors to go with it. I'm trying to decide between a few sets; Behringer TRUTH B2031A active monitors or the Yamaha HS80M active monitors.


You can't go wrong with either monitor. The Yamahas may be more reliable but the Behringers have more power.

Behringer now makes the newer version called the 3031a:

Sheet Music - MusicPlayer Forums

I've used http://www.sheetmusicdigital.com/ in the past - but they only let you print your digital purchase twice, which I found very annoying. I end up scanning the printout again so I have a PDF for my iPad. Gryphon's advice is good, though - there's plenty of free stuff out there, starting with http://www.ultimate-guitar.com if you're just looking for chords to very diligent transcriptions (you may get lucky on Scribd).
