What characteristics have motivated your choice?

The many possibilities of digital and analog connections.
Vents in front cause less problems of proximity in the smallest spaces

OVERALL OPINION

I used them for 3 years for mixing music and post-production.
Now I have Dynaudio but I use Roland as secondary which I still often return to due their precision in the treble and upper midrange.

The quality / price is very good. Obviously these are not the Dynaudios' but still worth the 400euros new (pair)

<div>I would buy the same model without hesitation even now to make a surround (If you sell sent me an email thank you (max 250E pair)</div><div>
