"were good...."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I had a pair of these for about 10 years but they suddenly died, Roland were not interested in providing any support so I had an Electronics Engineer look at them... totally unclear as to what the problem was, he thought it was the power transformer and I suspected the electrolytic capacitors.... anyway, ended up in the bin. I'm looking to replace them but won't be buying Edirol again...

"Not studio monitors"

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have used these speakers for about 10+ years as my computer speakers but these are no way anything for audio reference. The little low end they have is very resonant. As stated above, they are just a tad better than computer speakers. And nowadays you can get decent studio monitors for not so much money. Don't recommend.

Dec 11, 2007 - I just received delivery of my Edirol Ma-15D monitors not 1/2 hour ago and could not wait to set them up. My first impression upon removing them from the box is excellent and detailed construction with solid controls you expect on professional-grade audio equipment. The packaging is very good to protect them during delivery. I am former musician who played 3 instruments, a former mobile entertainer, and now a multimedia producer and VO talent who already owns pro equipment for my home studio and favors unblemished natural sound and knows what live instruments should sound like. I am also properly running these monitor with a Behringer 1204 FX audio mixer without clipping or distorting signals and without extra signal drain from devices like an iPod or cheap PC audio card which are not designed to drive this type of equipment. Be prepared to be blown away at the clarity and natural reproduction you will get from these monitors. Every fine detail of each instrument is there to be heard, the highs and mid-range are clear and crisp, the bass is not overpowering from the unnatural delivery of a sub-woofer. This is a speaker for educated aficionados of quality audio with common sense on proper EQ techniques. My home studio is now back up and running after losing my old BOSE monitors...YES...these are replacing equal-sized BOSE speakers!
Features
It might be nice to have a clip indicator but I never overdrive my speakers.

"Don't Believe the Hype!!"

Save your money.....
Sound
I run a recording department for an international music company. I don't own these....I use KRK monitors. My good friend & colleague owned a pair of them. He constantly needed to repair them, and the low frequencies were basically non-existent. These are NOT professional grade at all, as previous reviews suggest (nor is any of the other gear listed in his review). These are 1 step better than computer speakers, they will not offer a realistic response at all. What you hear come out of these will be DRASTICALLY different than on a home or car stereo....Beware, don't believe the hype. Save your money. My friend ended up buying a set of KRK's and literally threw these out his window.
