Value For Money : Excellent
- What technical specifications motivated your choice?

The price, size, wind it down well located relatively low, and have a very solid good looks. On paper, CHARACTERISTICS are excellent performance, THD, nothing wrong.

- For what purpose?

Home-studio mixing / composition / model / mix use multimedia films and movies / music.

- What amp / What configuration? ...

PC gross samplitude 10, RME, stuff with lights that make the pretty sound.

SOUNDS

- The curve frequency drives is it neutral enough?

Not at all. But do not REPRESENTATIVES forcment a problem. Low an unflattering, but beautifully doses, from this point of view, no surprise when moving to a different cost.
The medium seems to rev right mix is ​​comfortable.
Treble, the bat has a little wing, there is a big shelving from 10k, and we feel strongly. If this profile a bit "loudness" is a treat for the costs and multimedia applications, the mix is ​​different because it is necessary to mix VERY bright, which can make the COST tiring. Nevertheless, it is indeed the default of easy anticipation, but my early work had made a trs sail when I passed on the BM6A or A7. The lack of EQ rcuprer forced me my good old 31-band, and I'm doing much better by compensating for the shelving, indeed it is the only default I found them in terms of spectrum.

- Stereo image is good?

Trs good, as long as the speakers are well isolated from their support means aisment any pan, it's all good. (Less than BM6A even when we must admit)

- The sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum?

Ms. prcis too clear! Blame the treble boosts, however, is a formidable weapon blast and various parasites, nothing you screed!

- The dynamic is it respect? ...

Trs good, I made a habit of using low volume for the work of mastering, and the fact that serious. A ct of a, have a coronation for their size potatoes, a little above the Wagner and really twist neurons.

OVERALL OPINION

2 months, every day, and I like them well ptites mmres!

Mouth
Hybrid Sound Monitor / HiFi, formidable as an secondary costs, a CONTRL recommended!
Award
After all, robust manufacturing
-
A treble shelving abuse, while it lacks a bit of rponse around 3/4k
The brilliant mix NCESS
No EQ


- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I have BM6A and Genelec 1029A, strength of experience, I think the dtenir a formidable trio! Ausi diffrent that complmentaires. The fostex Most recent internship are dated and they bring me much in terms of precision and are a CONTRL prcieux Hifi for compatibility.

Under the same price, I tried KRK Rokit, I do not like, I found a coarse trs. Genelec not DEFINITIONS not my thing (except the 1029A and those that cost 10,000 euros haha). Event on the other hand is a brand that I liked, but in this price range I have not found my happiness.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Obviously Excellent!!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Absolutely, but not by way of main cost!
