Specifications:
I want speakers with a broad response while maintaining a fairly neutral and very compact size. The event also attracted me to the front because I was not able to space them 50cm from the wall

Usage:
Amateur home studio in my room to listen to music and to mix composed of small piano / guitar / vocals. Listen directly to my digital piano's speakers via a small table.

Configuration:
MacBook -> Edirol FA101-> Studio-MSP5

SOUNDS

Frequency curve of neutral
When it colors even in medium, gives a little more clarity in the treble and a little more bass. It is not as neutral with the HS50 but it's still well respected

Stereo Image:
Very good

Its clear
The sound is very clear is what caught my attention. The spectrum goes up to 40kHz. It is very rare in this type of speakers.

Dynamic:
Excellent for this size speaker

OVERALL OPINION

How long?
1 Week

Models tried before?
I listened to Prodipe, but I found the Fostex's really too stifling and not clear enough, with low but certainly much too "dull."
I have long listened to the HS-50 are excellent in neutral. The best in my opinion, much like the NS10-M. But I wanted a little more versatility to play CDs, DVDs, etc ...

Quality / price ratio:
€ 450 the pair is a budget that exceeds € 300 models précedemenent cities but in terms of dynamics, clarity, and size frequency curve. It's still very affordable.

Experience with the different choice?
No. For now I stay with a model that allows me to listen to music at low volume but high volume. And also the ability to record my digital piano, my guitar and my voice.

I put "8" because the price is a bit expensive compared to HS-50 which I think are the concurrent, even if the use is a little different (more neutral)
