Best value: Excellent
What technical specifications motivated your choice?
I looked for monitoring costs of medium size and with a good record in terms of low (which is often EHJV in this range). Also want something prcis and versatile. In stores, some costs seemed too "light" enough couillues, others too dense almost deaf. I t IMMEDIATE sduit by the quality of sound. The price indicated n'tait not what I expected and the vendor tells me they taient Chres three times more than other mid-range. Well no c'tait in the same price. I do not hsit.

- For what purpose?
Mainly mix. The desire for something prcis, which Reserved no surprises on other media dcoute. I'm not.

- What configuration?
I'm working on a big PC with Nuendo on prods electro folk, Mlenge allgrement of Reason with Nuendo, acoustic instruments with synthetic bass.
For the rhythmic "analog" I work with Addictive drums. A versatile monitoring seemed so ncessaire.

SOUNDS

- The curve frequency drives is it neutral enough?
Yes I think has impeccable. As I placed the cost close to the wall, I had to compensate for the low rendering the source (small traditional switches the rear of the baffles). Now a roll.

- Stereo image is good?
Trs trs good. You can really have fun putting the beats around and ranges in frequency drives Different. We really feel like seeing them dplacer. Stereo for excellent management costs from this award.

- The sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum?
The highlight of my mind these costs. Have as much precision in frquences high and at the same time such EHJV in the low, a price that borders on the ridiculous l. I intended to buy a sub later. I will not need it. But I do not dance to ..

- The dynamic is it respect? ...
Yes, in addition to the signal to noise ratio seems to me Irrel. I confirm what was said by a Previous post redcouvre is the breath of the original recording. Ct and the other curve dynamic apche death without losing precision.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
For three months. I rcout all my old CD and remix all my compos;)) It's like moving from SD to HD video. We explore new paths.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What I like most: the clarity and dynamics, and precision EHJV time.
What I like least: The volume pots front t have fun for recalibration, but I quibble, I see no default.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Normment Yes, with friends in the studio store. In this price range, none had sduite this point.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent. It is a euphmisme.

- Well, three months is short and exprience, but these costs are part of the best purchases I've ever done. I recommend them with closed eyes anybody, I n'esprais falling like pearls on this award l.
I almost Rasht a pair for my living room.
