attracted by the reputation of the brand, I went to listen before buying.
plugged into an amp Samson, who has my taste in trouble following.
technically nothing wrong with that pro.
the tweeter in the center of the woofer really makes the difference

SOUNDS

the side of listening we like it or not. we can not talk about this kind of neutrality with monitor, the sound is round, warm, and full metal nothing here, but the accuracy is there. Basses are rich and detailed, the medium fish a little, it lacks a bit of brightness in the upper medium, and highs are clear without being scathing.

sound rather unusual that can be confusing to some. monitors difficult, that can make you make mistakes on a mix.
cons by complementing other monitors more analytical, it is a treat, they really shine, and bring the thrill of listening more dimensioned

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for at least 8 years, not a sign of trouble or fatigue, serious stuff. monitors are difficult to grasp, but which are truly sublime in a monitoring kit.
So atypical, or switch from one monitor to another, there is sometimes taken aback but he must learn to use them then it is a treat, coupled with a precision tool.
