«  Very good choice French! »

Best value: Excellent
I had to powered monitor neutral and active at low cost in addition to a home studio. This model Hercules, discovered at a friend gave me the mission possible, I never thought of the French name and at that price, for me this brand sold only cheap PC speakers.
So, with no concessions, they are real monitors.
Amplified to 40 Watts RMS given, pushed to 80 peak, good storage place.

SOUNDS

This is the surprise of the first listen, neutral to perfection, clarity, precision, all worthy of big brands, in fact they are not made for anything other than the Monitoring! Ideal stereo 2 x 20 Watts, flawless.

OVERALL OPINION

I know last year, views and discoveries in Studio.
Yes, many tried and used, much more expensive.
The most: their neutrality and clarity that rank directly in real pregnant Monitor, the price which is often two to three times higher for this result, the look, because they are very nice and fit in all types of studio Pro or not, the impression of solidity and reliability also by design (materials), the front interface with volume, tone separately, For IN, the grafted headphone that cuts the speakers not very useful but this, the light of activity.

Cons: Not really, for me Hercules had to make concessions to provide quality at this price, no USB, input optical, XLR, but if you have a good sound interface or console, and the RCA JACKS enough and it is not the least, I advise them to budget and for other good,
same excellent equipment.
Be careful not to expect to use these speakers for a function other, are not pregnant or PA HI FI, go: mix in Pro listen :)
Yes or no further, without hesitation, this is a very good choice to be redone.
