    Anything.

    Not much to add from other than that I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE a small room ... frankly, for the price, we say to all but the largest MODEL absolutely hell if you do not place (Genus my home studio to do 10 M2). It is better smaller. A month to have Plei nd FRICS to an acoustic treatment adquate.

    Dj against a wall (and at home they are 1 m from the wall), the rear event that you will never rgler anything.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for a year.
    I love their image and stro potato.
    But even when I have a reason for dissatisfaction with the fact that I saw too big for my home studio. I should have taken smaller.

    I tried in my Fostex PM05 pice of 10 M2 and that's what I think I should have taken. (I must try the Tapco S5 to see if I correct my problem).

    Excellent sound. Precise, clear, deep. The fever is high and rises late. The grave safely down to 40 hz. Power is generous. I told them associated with a subwoofer to complete the TITAN Moscada extremely serious. The resonances due to vent can be removed through the airy foam in them, without affecting the bandwidth.

    I use to accompany my music lessons with different playbacks.
    I need a realism of the instruments on all types of songs and a power closer to the truth.

    In a mixer Behring high-end, I just spent a MINICOM 800 of the same brand that better suits my needs.

    SOUNDS

    Thanks to the addition of the subwoofer, the curve is smooth from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

    The stereo image is wide and therefore allows to listen to all kinds of music without frustration.

    The dynamics are very good including the major orchestras.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I own them for a year.

    I had YAMAHA MS20, then B2030 and B2031 Behring. Overall, these products are very good but have never been accurate.

    The value for money is good.

    If it again, I will make the same choice.

XLR or Jack or RCA is good, I have a choice, I have dj totu use as appropriate (diffrent sound card, etc.).. I never used the bass, for cons. The sound "basic" suits me perfectly.

    Super features.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is super good. In any case it is a thousand times better than my hifi system.
    The sound is clear and precise. Very pleasant. No ear fatigue.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The bottom is very nice and medium rather pleasant, but becomes rough when you go teasing infra (watch the rear wind!)

    OVERALL OPINION

    For this price range ( Low near-coast), it's respectable.

    They are very comfortable for the cra particulirement music and sound editing. The treble is not as tiring but legible.

    An application for mixing pure, and currently there are - I think - much better speaker quality (first prize ADAM, M-Audio, etc. ...).

    I planned to change this pair of costing for a more srieuse (ADAM A7 or equivalent). But as the budget does not permit me, I keep them happy for my work as a composer image.

    monitoring speakers 80 watts, although power for home, I Sonoris a small room with festive events (about 60 people), music and speech without worries. But not enough for a warm discos. UNESCORecords connection (jack, XLR, RCA).

    SOUNDS

    N'tant not engineer for sound, my opinion is limited absence of noise, and a very neutral reproduction. MODEL

    OVERALL OPINION

    good for home use, used occasionally for events not too violent. I bought 450 in MODEL expo with the discount store, and returning home, I saw that c'tait much cheaper internet ... Never that precipitates if not press!
    Apart from the price I pay I do not regret at all.

    60w data, they must have them.
    6 / 10

    SOUNDS

    color still a little sound, lacking some dynamic, a little clutter in large volume, compared to "real" Mackie.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used daily for 4 years without major concerns.
    not tried much before, bought after reading tests in magazines.
    The +: it does not sound too bad for the price.
    The -: Mackie is not, there's no miracle.

    If you can afford it, take Mackie, there's no picture, even if it's twice the price and what should still be able to afford them.

    but I did choosy, there's not much to complain about.
    Ultimately, each of these tastes.
