I would venture to say that you're going to have a hard time finding powered speakers of this quality for the price anywhere. I have a home studio and was using my giant Yamaha subs and powered speakers and it was just too much for my small space. The Yamaha speakers are for DJ gigs, not home recording. These speakers however are amazing. The size (I have the 8 inch model) will fit in almost any studio. The lows are super low, the mids and highs are perfect. For reference speakers at less than $300 a pair, you'll just want to have them playing something all the time. The ONLY thing I don't care for is the heat they put off. The back of the speaker gets pretty hot. My Yamaha powered speakers run super cool. Since I live in Texas, it gets hot and my studio does too. Anything that puts off this much heat contributes to my discomfort. That is the only snag here for me. The build quality is incredible. They're heavy in a good way. The cabinets and components are all black and have a cool look. I do wish they were pole mountable, but not a deal breaker. If you're looking for some reference speakers, you can't go wrong for the price.

Out of the box, easy set-up.. Very, very solid construction.Sound Quality is pretty good.. .The highs seem a little on the rich side.. and i mean..you can barely hear it.. but it's there..Mids are clean and crisp..Lows are simply crazy...i getting bass shooting up 3 levels in my 5 level split house....THE ONLY QUARK..I wish the volume knobs had dial-in points. The knobs move a little too freely.. It would better is your could turn know to Volume setting 1.2.3.4. etc.. NOT 1 then 1.25 then 1.275 then 1.5.. etc..The Volume know sits to close to power switch, so you will hit that knob while powering the speakers.. I have to go and adjust the volume at least once a week to make sure they are set equally...Other than that.. these are absolutely great.
