Is that motivated my choice is mainly the price, I needed pregnant fairly quickly for projects in home studio but a little "short" on the budget I jumped at this one because it seemed best to this price range (there is not much else to be said).
They are plugged into a Digi 002 with a configuration PC to dedicate to ProTools, no amp they are active. Placed close to walls of about 1m from my ears

Rather, they are pretty, the blue circle around the knob volume had its effect, but its still quite sober.
The auxiliary input and headphone jack on the front is very convenient for me, but probably not necessary at all. I for one hello initiative.
At the rear there is a switch BassBoost ... yes its boost but it's really ugly ... can be played for a console.

SOUNDS

So for my part, I find not particularly neutral curve. Lack of serious and high-medium, but like all good speakers, with an adjustment period used to it, I have by betting against a reverse order to have the woofer more in line with my ears.

For the stereo image I was really impressed, they really reflect the spacialisation mix.
Where I am is a lot less satisfied about the accuracy, I really sound very vague, the elements are hard to discern and so the ear gets tired very quickly ...

For the dynamic when it lacks even "fishing", but given the size I was not doing too much illusion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for 8 months, I really like the stereo and the front entrance that allows me to drive directly connected.
I find its really nice to "listen" to music as still more accurate than the HIFI to work on it but it's not especially the top, after one hour we can discern much more.
I count the change before long because they are not me, but they still helped out and get me the price is quite honest.
I worked on a lot of model KRK, JBL, PMC, Genelec, but not the same price so not really comparable.
