ESI's reputation by word of mouth, but I think the sound guys with whom I spoke, had to think of the nEar08 eXperience not the classic ... (150th of difference) because my feeling is very mixed on this model.

SOUNDS

20-100hz:-10db because I do not have to return the wall behind bass reflex at the back, usually I can not find the grave "punchy" which is sold on the data sheet., Above: it's going a little better, with peak at 550 and 1k25, quite acute. medium because its usually too uncomfortable before, especially the 1k25. after, it is a practice listening to amplify the flaws in this part of her, so essential in a mix. poor choice for a main listening, especially without subs, can be see nEar08 eXperience: with other HP in the same box, I did not listen, but it seems after the notice of, it is worth the shot .
dynamic: good, sharp accurate. lack the low end. strange phenomenon in the 300hz, may be due to the distance ... stereo image not great either because of the bump in 1k25, switch "bass boost" fantasy back in front with only controled the freq (50-65-80-100hz), fixed gain (db ENV2), it is unclear whether it is a shelving or a shelv, no bypass, => ineficacité process, and below any instructions, we learn nothing! AHU walls better than the HF with 1db increments, and HP seems better, but anyway, not sure! is price to pay for speakers that do not sound at all.

OVERALL OPINION

use: two months in pro.
intermediate model, the intermediate, intermediate satisfaction, nothing would do well grisant.je do not have that choice: either take the nEar08 experience (330th) or switch brands. (NS10m/adam/KRK)
