«  Very good quality / price ratio »

Best value: Excellent
The price / quality ratio very good.
Home studio use and important to me: they are relatively independent of the sound of your room. So for small parts and / or acoustically untreated rooms, very useful.
I started in my room as much, this can seem cheap but should not lie either: when looking for a pair of monitor less than 200 €, it is not Abbey Road: Everything is relative and their use these speakers are VERY good job and you save the part of the poor acoustics of your room!

SOUNDS

Another time it all comes down to price. We will not compare with Dx4 CMS40 eh ... So for the price it is quite honorable.
It sounds a little "boxy" looks like our friend so testers AF but you hear about it rather well! But we must put his ears contributions of course: D
on the other hand, if you expect to work 8 hours per day over ... say that you will be very tired at the end of the day. Say 4 or 5 hours max per day in listening mode / work after your ears are going to face.
In 6 years I did a lot of mix over and made on larger systems, pros, leisure, various diff I've never been big surprises. Go once if a phase problem on a voice listening studio pro. once in 6 years, it's fair game!
Also quite nice to listen to music for pleasure.

OVERALL OPINION

I hope to restore some of the prestige these speakers because I've seen some pretty hard I think.
I saw a super user disappointed but reading his opinion I think that he may have pushed a little hard at the beginning because it says "a high level speakers produce sound really dégeulasse", "A point negative that has never been mentioned, it is fragilitée its speakers, they laché home after two months, "" The point fragilitée on both membrane after only 1 week of use. " . I guess, like any studio monitor, it needs to be lapped by the time the membrane "to do" and that it was probably not push early.
I have read say that a member had 2 sav returns in 1 year, I understand that it is worshiped in this case, I am surprised it should really be an extreme case of bad luck because I use them for 5 or 6 years and no problem despite numerous transport, they still work as well. I have two other friends who also have: no worries.
This I say this with respect, it is sad that he had had a bad experience with these speakers and it bores me to them and they have wasted their time and money. Anyway I have a radically different experience of this product and I wanted to share: for me these speakers are a great product quality / price ratio: we mug a pair for € 100 OCCAZ, it's just amazing!
I say quality / price ratio! Of course if you go up in price you better but it will at least double the bet ;)
