"Best affordable monitors"
I also like these since they are very slender and don't take up space at all. Remember thay are only like 5 watts per channel so they can't go really loud like bigger speakers can but if you have them at normal volume they sound great but if you turn them too loud they will start to distort. But you don't have to worry about blowing them since they have the protection called output current limiting.
Sound
I really like how these sound for the price I mean they do make clear low punchy bass and clear highs. The mids are good too. They really sound like a miniture studio monitor.
Features
They have some good features like the protection called output current limiting that protects the drivers from blowing them out when you turn them up loud. So I don't ever have to worry about damaging these monitors. But all other M-Audio monitors have this feature. Plus it has a voltage selector so you can use these monitors in a different country and also that have a fuse inside the monitors but you will have to remove the cover to see that fuse and to replace it. The other cool feature it has is that the tweeters point towards you when you have them on your desk so you don't have to level them to your ears like normal monitors.
Ease of Use
It's very simple to use you just turn the volume control clockwise and the power goes on and just keep turning them until they are loud enough for you. It's very… read more simple to connect the monitors to your computer or MP3 player etc. They come with a RCA cord that converts to normal male type headphone jack.
Quality
These are build very well and durable they are pretty heavy for there size but all that means is the parts inside are good. They use MDF type enclosure like other M-Audio monitors and use the same high tech stuff that other M-Audio monitors use.
Value
They are worth every penny since they are built well and durable and use good parts inside.
Manufacturer Support
The tech support is very helpful that know alot about there products and can guide you to help fix any issues you have with M-Audio products. Only thing I don't like is the wait time is very long and could take acutaly upto 40 min depending how busy they are to talk to them.
The Wow Factor
They look really attractive and nice since they have that angle shape so the tweeters point towards your ears when you place them on your desktop.
