The biggest leap forward for any home studio!
Quality:
These speakers are solid. I have made a point to protect my investment by taking care in moving and positioning them. The only potential of damage I see is that the speaker has no grille to protect the drivers, the tweeter especially. Other than that, I'd say it has every quality feature you could want.
Features:
The best feature of this product is the sound, obviously. I would like to add that the high end attenuator will come in handy for use in rooms that aren't properly sound treated.
Ease of Use:
This product is plug and play. Couldn't be any easier.
Sound:
The sound has a surprising amount of detail and the bass reproduction is amazing. Just two of these monitors sounded louder and better than any other speaker setup I've heard. It was hard to believe that the sound I was hearing was coming from these monitors.
Reliability:
I've owned a pair for a couple of weeks now and they haven't given me a single problem, even at high volumes.
Overall:
This product is well made and has thoughtful design. The sound is exceptionally clear and it produces a deep sounding low end. I'd almost say you don't need to purchase a sub to get the full range of audio. The fact that AMS threw in quality speaker stands and Auralex monitor pads just went to sweeten the deal even further.

Quality:
I believe these speakers to be made very well. They are solid and well designed.
Features:
This speaker has all the basics, volume control, 1/4" input. The only thing I might add is an XLR input.
Ease of Use:
Well, it's a speaker so it's not hard to use, just plug it in and go.
Sound:
These speakers sound great in my home studio, and I've even taken one to use as a monitor at a show and it worked excellent! Need speakers and these are in your price range? Go ahead and get em' you can't beat em.
Reliability:
I've been using a pair of these for about 6 months now every day and have never had a problem.
Overall:
These are GREAT speakers. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

A Home Studio Dream
Quality:
So far so good. Haven,t had any problems
Features:
I am totally satisfied with the appearance, the features and the quality craftsmanship of these monitors and would add nothing.
Ease of Use:
I purchased a pair of these monitors. When they arrived at the door, I unpacked, inspected and connected them to my Tascam 2488neo ( turned them on and Wham!!! I could not believe what I was hearing. these monitors were so easy to set up and opreate, my 11 year old grandson did most of the work.
Sound:
One has to hear it to believe it. The sound is astounding.
Reliability:
I expect this product to last me for a very long time.
Overall:
I would recommend these studio monitors to anyone, professional or novice. I did not realize what I was missing until I connected these babies to my system. A friend of mine has a more expensive set of monitors and neither of us can distinguish the difference in comparing the quality of sound on his expensive set and mine.

real world (project studio) review
Quality:
They appear to be well made. I have only rated them a 4 at this time due to only having them for a short period. I hope they continue to perform well for a long time!
Features:
Especially like the front ports as it makes them convenient to use near walls if work space is a problem
Ease of Use:
Simple use. connect up, power up
Sound:
The sound is excellent. I've had Mackies, Event 20/20BAS, and JBL LSR28 pairs, and now these. They do appear to have a wider stereo image making it easier to move about and still hear a true representation of the source, at a cost much less than any of the above I mentioned regarding 8" speakers. Everyone has an opinion and on tech sheets maybe there is a difference between $2000 monitors and these, but for the money,(and I've spent a lot in the past on more expensive monitors), I think you will be very happy with these and save some money. After all, a good recording starts with the source and a bad recording from a bad source can't be fixed with ANY monitors!
Reliability:
Again, only had it for two weeks so time will tell
Overall:
Only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far so good

Entry Level Excellence
Quality:
I did not find any MFG flaws and they look and feel quite solid.
Features:
The sound and the price.
Sound:
I don't think you can beat these for the money. They sound great. My mixes are translating quite well and in my opinion they have a fairly large sweet spot.
Reliability:
N/A they are new.
Overall:
I don't think these can be beat for the money. I shopped the local guys for about 2 months and I think they stand up quite well to some significantly more expensive monitors.

KRK Studios, must I say any more?
Features:
3 types of connectors on the back (XLR, RCA & 1/4 inch TRS) which is nice to have when you don't have the fancier connections!
Ease of Use:
This product has all the knobs you'll need in the back of the unit to adjust, but it's a simple plug and play unit.
Sound:
Nothing like you've ever heard, crystal clear sparkles with absolutely no distortion whatsoever, this IS the speaker to get.
Reliability:
I've had this for about 6 months and I would say they haven't had any problems as expected and it will continue to play sweet sounds till the end of time.
Overall:
You won't be disappointed with a product coming from KRK Studios, they are known for their high quality speakers, they only downfall I could say would be the price, but quality comes with a price.
