Yea the BX8 is a pretty good speaker, I had a pair of BX5's floating around my house.. actually, my friend (call him #1) borrowed them from another mutual friend (call him #2).. and then somehow friend #1 (who does not have a car) found it easier to leave them at my place thinking that eventually they would make it back to friend #2. So after a while of nothing happening, I mentioned to friend #2, who I worked with at the time, that I have his speakers and does he want me to bring them to him, it's no trouble, etc. He said no, don't worry about it.. hold on to them. So I started using them in the bedroom
It turns out that friend #2 was trying to make a point to friend #1 that he borrowed them and he needs to bring them back and not just leave them at my place
So, I ended up having them for a couple of years!
Anyway I enjoyed the BX5's, I've heard the BX8's.. they sound similar but more bass. They are not WOW sounding but you cannot expect that for the price.. you can expect "Hey these are pretty nice". Good speakers for home DJing for sure.
And yes, if your controller has TRS outputs, a TRS to TRS cable for each speaker is what you want. A TRS Male to XLR Make will work exactly the same but results in a more sturdy connection on the back of the speaker, TRS are more prone to damage if the speaker were to fall off the stand or the table. Ultimately you want to get these speakers up to your ear height when you are DJing, so a pair of monitor stands is a good idea. I have Onstage SMS6000, they do the job.
