It's been four years since I use the hp coupled with mp418sp amplified.
Most are audio quality, very robust and design aesthetics, the appointment power, internal protection from acute, ... for at least I have not found.
I've had hp jbl equivalent but still used at the time and despite their age were always on top.
For the price I think it is justified even though it is already substantial.
I renew my hp on average every year and still I take this model.
