the curve is not linear but great equalizing a little on the table with a reference CD that does pretty well ...
the sound is pretty accurate, can be a bit messy for my taste ... but there's something to work on prod amateurs without any problem, the mixes are always <span class="skimwords-unlinked">transportable.je</span> check my mixes on a 2.1 Altec Lansing has overplayed trend low and it remains consistent.

OVERALL OPINION
it's been about two months that I have and it changed my life ... my prods sounds much better and that's exactly what I wanted!
these are my first monitor speakers so I can not compare ...
I like their look typed "mac pro" and the fact that the loudspeakers are well protected.
by witness against the blue LEDs are too strong, it hurts the eyes, I had to hide them under a piece of scotch.
the sound is pretty good overall but do ask for a miracle either.
I think I would do this choice, I have paid 190 euro, used in a more than adequate, so for me the value for money and very good.
