Wow, the stuff in the video is pretty bad. I don't have such a problem
with my G2. All I get is a little noise when they're idle, but you have
to be very close up to hear it, I think that's normal. RF problems
related to mobiles are also mentioned and I do get those, but I didn't
try to figure out whether those come from the cables or the monitors
themselves and the gearslutz posts don't make this clear either.
Because you mentioned Behringer, a friend of mine recently tested
some small Behringer against Adam 3 something and said he didn't hear
much difference but went with the much more expensive Adam nevertheless.
Anyway, this is pretty anecdotal, it's best to listen for oneself if
possible.
