Great monitors!!!

Strengths: It is small and have an accurate sound. Perfect for home studios.

Weakness: Not so powerful.


I really like this monitor. It is very small and have a great sound. Clean and reliable sound. Of course, as all near-field monitors, it does not respond flat in the low frequencies (below 50Hz). To get response in this region you need a reference subwoofer too.

I also have a Behringer B2030A and they have similar sound (of course, both are reference monitors). The Behringer have more bass because it has a larger woofer, but the difference is small. Of course, the behringer also wins because it has 110W, while this has only 75W.

But 75W is really enough for small or medium rooms, specially if you have a subwoofer.
