All user reviews for the Fostex PM-2 mkII

powerful speakers for my home studio
use "live" priority
use "live" so for my guitar, my things, my sequences via my PC + sound card, all managed by my mixer.

SOUNDS

Very good dynamic
The sound is very serious in the bass, clear treble and on the whole ... I re-discovered my sequences, listening sounds previously ignored!
Very good stereo image, but careful to position them as it should !!!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have them for 6 months (yes, again?)
I had the PM05 MKII before those there, very good too, even soundstage, but less powerful and much less bass ...
my +: nice look, good sound, power, deep bass and warm, good definition, stereo ...
I - I see no! so ... can be a bit heavy? but hey, that's what makes their quality too!
The price / quality ratio is excellent! Honestly, I have not been able to pay this range speakers in the
competition!
I think that I have for a long time and I do it again this choice without hesitation!
... Like, I put 9 on the value of all because perfect does not exist ...

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum?
enough is never enough ... that they are neutral but rather precise between 50 and 20 000 (and beyond if you have a bionic ear lol)
Below 50hz is nothingness (I think to buy the 0.5 but it has sub test)

The dynamics are respected?
yes very well: I work with a card EDIROL FA-66 but I think it will be even better when I pass on RME.

The stereo image is good?
it is that they reveal their full potential!
The stereo is very accurate provided of course to meet the investment record.

OVERALL OPINION

I use about six months depusi
I worked on the Mackie HR 824 (not in the same room while not obvious to compare it descends below) and a Cabasse system (I prefer PM 2)

The pros:
precision
_Stéréo
_Dynamique
_prise jack or XLR
_réglage tweeter
_look nice (but not why we buy them from these monsters!)

the -:
_gros breath when the volume of the enclosure is strong
_no shield (avoid phones in the room)
_en below 50hz that train (but with a good subwoofer we talk more)

The value for money is excellent! especially since I've had it for a promo Fostex (570 pair in the store, currently has 630 at Thomann.)
I would do without this choice for the budget problem (of course with a bigger budget I'll have something else ...)

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

-The famous brand
Design-sober
Technical-data

For what purpose?

Home studio and hifi

What amp / What configuration?

-Connected to the headphone output of a 520 or a Yamaha sound card direct

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?

A slight bump-up in medium I think, if not well overall, then it is only my ear ^ ^

The stereo image is good?

-Awesome! provided the place as stated in the notice

The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum?

-Never heard so many details
A light-breath at rest, but irrelevant to my case because I do not hear more after
By-cons I want to clarify this point:

I almost resell them on the first few months, as the sound was compressed, lacks serious writ large rather disappointing overall, so I used a subwoofer in addition to taking my pain with patience and the fourth month I 'I removed and this is where I learned the importance of the running .. this day I stayed glued to my chair to listen to my sounds ...

The dynamics are respected?

-Very correct

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

-Since November 2009

What thing do you like most/least about it?

in positive-simple design
-Characteristics
Quality of listening
-Value for money

Negative:-finish defects
Running time
Light-breath at rest

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

I believe that one can do better

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

-No, I leave the stereo

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

-I probably
