I'll be in heaven in perpetuity,as long as these monitors last and yes,I would replace them if I had to-in a heartbeat!!
Sound
Tantamount to putting on a very expensive set of headphones...the bass output & stereo imaging will shock & delight you beyond measure! The bass performance is on par with a pair of good 8 inch monitors & it's tight,punchy & lush...I could literally hear the bass in my kitchen coming all the way from my bedroom!! The mid's & high's are immaculately balanced & very gentle on the ears...no ear fatigue whatsoever!
Features
The 3-band frequency controls & acoustic space switch are an absolute dream!
Ease of Use
I'm using these monitors in a confined space,which sit about 4" from acoustically treated walls,so I left the LF switch on flat,boosted the mid & high switches to +2dB & left the acoustic space switch on the flat setting....perfecto!
Quality
Built solid like a tank from top to bottom....feels as though these monitors will last a lifetime!!
Value
This is the bargain of the millenium!!
Manufacturer Support
M-Audio's user forum is very helpful in general.
The Wow Factor
The tastiest pair of monitors out there for the money,period!!
