Chosen for the homestudio, they are active which avoids considering the small budget to make a bad choice Amp / Speakers.
The frequency response curve of the manufacturer is excellent (I know it's still one data provided by the manufacturer ...)
Speakers proximity to limit poor acoustics of the room, and screening for parasites (near PC monitor, cables everywhere in the room ...).

SOUNDS

The frequency response is good as long as it should be used (these are speakers nearby. Cons: The bass sometimes "parasites" for some instruments (20-50 Hz) emerged bad, but can be "monitored" with a good headphone in support of pregnant and we must remember that the speaker settings (treble and bass can make up for that one time you know better speakers)
The stereo image is perfect, the sound is very clear view of the product range and dynamics are very good.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 4 years.
Strength: Precision
Weakness: serious difficulties in the low (20 to 50Hz) compensated with adjustable bass on the speakers.
Quality / price ratio: excellent (they are old and their price has dropped)
I would definitely buy the same in this budget: EUR 274 found the pair in a liquidation of stock.
