SOUNDS
Works as a nice stereo pair for my setup...I use it as near fields for home recording...They are accurate and sound terrific...Anyone who discounts these because of the name on them deserves to miss the boat...These are awesome for the price...
They have some VERY useful room adjustments on the back for highs, mids, and lows...Super easy to dial them into your setup...And believe me, once properly adjusted - they simply rule...
The entire spectrum is well balanced...The 5.5 throws out more bass than I expected...It is a great reference speaker- or pair depending on you...
The sound is exactly what you put in...If you do bass-heavy music, you probably want to add a sub...But if you just want the rock thump of a kick drum- you are covered with the 2031A...
OVERALL OPINION
I like the fact that you can adjust them to your room...Very nice feature....The power is clean and clear....The speakers can handle a lot of sound and stay faithful to the truth, hence the name....
For the moolah, you won't find better...For twice as much you might...
WOuld totally buy again if and when I open the B Room...
Overall a terrific product...Great features, great sound...Great manual....
They are a tad heavy but hey, they are active...
And, since no one else has done this yet...
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
