Active monitor speakers, 3 way, see the sheet manufacturer

20 kg each, does not laugh! They are really impressive! Pretty face, darker than the pictures vouchers ...

Very practical: Filters & gains on the front cover, and the standby switch, also on the front!

SOUNDS

Masterful, really!

I come from Dynaudio BM5-A, which were good small speakers, already pro quality for proximity, and at that price (1000 euro per pair)

Well, now, this has nothing to do! EVERYTHING is clearly superior!

The distribution of linear low frequencies seems extreme treble them! The bass is tight, precise, deep, batteries for them, and no need to sub it goes down really low! Mediums are beautiful means everything! I heard on commercial CDs finer mix that I had never heard, and all that with a clear and natural at the same time accuracy diabolical! The highs are beautiful full color finesse and sweetness!

The depth also has nothing to do! Each choice means the mix, while remaining consistent stands ... All natural sounds

Dynamics? Pff! Perfect, nothing more to say ...

The stereo is amazing precision! Already, when we hear a kick at the center, or a voice, it is difficult to convince oneself that no one central voice as the sound seems to come out ahead! Surprising!
The slightest movement in segments immediately audible, it's really amazing! Listening to Dark Side on the Moon, for example, is enlightening ...

What is very strong, as is that balance is impeccable high and low level!

Last thing: the sound is beautiful! Listening to CD is really excellent even for pleasure!

OVERALL OPINION

My home studio is roughly treated, but I know I seeds at low (room modes). I dreaded the arrival of the monsters, but all is well! I'll probably buy bass traps based panels Helmotz resonant, to lessen a bit around 80Hz ... The rest of the spectrum is almost mastered .... I have not felt the need to use the markers on the front of each monitor.

I do not regret my choice one second! It's really another world, I can not wait to mix it! Obviously I'm going to review all of my mixes, but it'll be fun!

TOTAL FOOT!
