Value For Money : Excellent
What motivated my choice is mainly the price, then the size and the era that these speakers are not neutral, since they were first used as listening to music, movies and just do some work with Wavelab.
In my setup silent era and a VAIO ESI Quatafire, no more, no less.

Between a combo jack / XLR, a potentiomtre volume and on / off switch. In short, the minimum ...

Winds faade is a good point when there is limited space, we can at least stick them against the wall. Too bad they are made with rolls of toilet paper (see below).

SOUNDS

Absolutely non-neutral curve (which is not problmatique when we know) with a big wave at low frequencies and a lightweight hollow in the bottom but less mdiums problmatique (more fr Quent in monitoring). The sound remains clear and prcis but it remains far from the dcoupe prcise that some models may have better range, absent here. Stereo image is what it has to be on such MODEL: enough. A dynamic low trs my taste, whatever the volume. For someone looking for real monitoring speakers, they are bad. Even when I put 5 / 10 because it gets worse. The big problem for these speakers, regardless of the use made of it, remains one of the winds. They are at least poorly sized and result in a vibrant breath of big bass, but the volume trs forcment push away. One hears nothing, everything is false.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 3 years during which I worked on MODELS much more professional. Now what I love most about these speakers is ultimately they are small, it is convenient. The report price is good quality, however (this is just one example) are the Studiophile BX8 same price and better. They agreed I was perfect beginners but it is now forward I think the change. However they will not leave my HS so far as given that their sound remains INTERESTED, for example, the COST MP3. I exprience with the economy a little more to buy something more neutral. To advise the amateur who wants a good sound on their computer for MP3, games and movies, and who occasionally does some fruityloops ...
