I wanted some compact and inexpensive monitors for my home-studio.
I wanted some monitors that did their job, i.e with a linear and well-balanced signal reproduction, to mix my demos without having surprises when I hear my mixes on a hi-fi system at home or elsewhere.
After 2 years of use I'm still fully satisfied with this product.
SOUNDS
I repeat that I'm using them for my home studio with a multi-track system.
The frequency response is linear enough and the stereo imaging is good.
How does it sound? The sound is quite dynamic and accurate on the whole frequency spectrum. It's smooth and powerful.
The monitors have enough output volume (60w+40w).
The small woofers can't produce very low frequencies, nevertheless the low-end stays accurate. The mid and high frequency ranges are very good. Not aggressive.
OVERALL OPINION
I like almost everything about these monitors.
Their look, their sound, their linearity, and the fact that elsewhere my mixes sound exactly the same as with my Wharfedales.
I tried out several monitors: Behringer, Alesis, etc. but this monitors had the best value for money.
Don't forget it's a budget product...
For a home studio I would buy them again with my eyes closed. They are compact, with comprehensive connections (RCA, XLR, jack) and they sound good!
This brand is not famous but the manufacturing quality is good.
After 3 years of use. I'm still utterly satisfied, I've had no problems. I even use them as monitors for small unplugged gigs!
A subwoofer would be great to expand the low frequency response...
Edit 2: I added a Tapco subwoofer and it does enhance the frequency response, but I sometimes turn it off to check my mixes.
