Nime up days of the notice
Well, the technical specifications we do not care a bit, all fawn they are so close to a speaker the other, the more they rservent sometimes surprises ...

For use in home studio (main cost).

-1 Because the rear wind: in home studio, it is difficult (in most of the cases) to the speakers 1.50m from the wall.

Siter not put them on foot, not a useless investment ...

look down on it will be steak, but the one must admit that it is plusttrussi.


CAUTION: The boomer is not 8 inches as can be seen from anywhere but a 7 inch (measured with the included rubber suspension!)
Measurement: 17.5cm (one inch = 2.54cm) 17.5/2.54 = 6.89 and I still do not know if it is necessary to consider the suspension as far as speaker (to the benefit of doubt I account)
I have trouble understanding: it was announced all over (even Yamaha) a 8 inch ...
Finally, c'tait just for the record, as have the rest. With a 7 inch one can do good things. (Besides the new yamaha "studio series" Gabinohome with boomers are 5 and 7 inches ...)
CA BUT STILL NEED TO WATCH WELL Beware MANUFACTURER DATA. If they do not gnent measures dimensions that can be done with RULES, I can not imagine what they do to give the more difficult to measure ... Moreover, the curve is everywhere rponse gives ...- 10db 42Hz but these eneceintes ...

SOUNDS

The curve is fairly neutral frequency drives. Not the most neutral in the lower ...
lgre a bump around 5 kHz: it n'are no sound, but makes it a little mtalique. The switch of both centered mdiums of 2 kHz, it can not be used to correct the default and the switch to cut too sharp ... acute: it is quite frustrating (but normal ...).
To correct the proximity of the walls, the bass cut switch too high (given to 500Hz) low mdiums shame because DJ is a bit weak.
=> Basically I think the editors are not quite suitable.

Stereo image is correct, not transcendent either.

The sound is clear and trs prcis on almost the entire spectrum (relative to price).
on the other hand I can not find the mdiums prcis that if a. .. may be even drafts. I quite agree with opinions Previous saying he feels that something is missing in mdiums. The cost of the album 'Born in the United States is quite difficult ...

Good dynamic.

MY EXPERIENCE remains limited, and the acoustics of my room was not ideal (although NOT BAD AT ALL IN THE "SWEET ITEM"), I WANT MY COMMENT relativize. But I could use in diffrent spices ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is not a flattering one. (It's the least we can say!)
trs a good mix sound good on it,
a mix sounds good average
a bad way ... etc.
Ben, here. In hindsight, I can not trust these speakers too for a mix. I end up with a double in his final too (may be that the problem comes from me). I found the solution by mixing on my DT990 (it's a little contrast in color Audible ...). All fawns for the home studio, nothing beats a good headphone (which for the same price rsultat gives much better) than the speakers of this range, a pice little or no respect e), even if the speakers are always ncessaires.

I think I've tried all the speakers in this price range (the era). My time c'tait for me the best, before the Rokit (its too extreme a little project frquences xagres), the fostex (not too bad either, as may be I axaminerais a little more, in retrospect), small E-mu (bass too far forward, as if they taient force due to the small size of HP, mdium lower back, its just bordlique more), the Samsons ... (the seller about me even my lou spectrum analyzer gratos if I bought them!), the Tapco (too big) ...
Listen to all the speakers in the store, and compare (attention, the store must be very quiet or you ratter a lot of harm and risk dtails INTERPRETATION curve rponse: exprience v cue ...). I prfre costs in all stores, as they can be compared to conditions and trs diffrent arserve sometimes surprises ...

CONCLUSION:
not bad, but not as good as can be prtendre ... in this price range there's no much to say it was worth the money.
