  • Excerpt: These are great for the money and sound very flat sounding no mid range roll off as alot of hifi speakers do rendering them unsuitable as monitors in the first place. They are very loud and quite powerful and can really drop down quite low without distorting and are very well made. I think it would be hard to better them on a bang for your buck basis. The place I bought them from even gives a free 4 year warranty. The amplifcation is hiss free aswell.

  • Pros: Clean, wide stereo image. Great highs and basic bass. Compact!
  • Cons: A bit weak on sub-bass, but who cares... get a subwoofer!
