Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The build quality is impressive for the price. Everything is sturdy and well constructed. tight connections and potentiometers that click to fine tune and align your adjustments between speakers. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? I find the 3 different connection types to be the best feature. This monitor will work in any application you need to use it for. Quick and easy setup. The HF Level Adjust is real nice. Wish it had the LF level like the rokit 10-3 and a midrange driver. Though having any adjustment at this price is satisfying. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? Very easy to hook up. The manual gives basic instruction. You will need to refer to the net and personal experimentation for your particular placement. Sound How is the tone? If you compare this to your regualr speakers you will believe that It leans toward the highs a bit and lacks in the lows. I haven't had many chances to compare to other monitors. Though once you mix with these monitors and then listen on your regular speakers you will notice an improvement in the sound, levels, and mix. Reliability How has it stood up over time? After a month everything is still in perfect working order. KRK has great customer service from what I've heard. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It is important to remember that this is a near field monitor. If you move beyond this you will more than likely not be satisfied with the sound, especially bass response. Even with the 8 inch woofer!!
Great Speaker!

Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? This speaker has all the basics, volume control, 1/4" input. The only thing I might add is an XLR input. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? Well, it's a speaker so it's not hard to use, just plug it in and go. Sound How is the tone? 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 How has it stood up over time? I've been using a pair of these for about 6 months now every day and have never had a problem. Overall Your general opinion of this product. These are GREAT speakers. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? So far so good. Haven,t had any problems Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? I am totally satisfied with the appearance, the features and the quality craftsmanship of these monitors and would add nothing. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? 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 How is the tone? One has to hear it to believe it. The sound is astounding. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I expect this product to last me for a very long time. Overall Your general opinion of this product. 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.
great monitors for a great price

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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 What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Especially like the front ports as it makes them convenient to use near walls if work space is a problem Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? Simple use. connect up, power up Sound How is the tone? 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 How has it stood up over time? Again, only had it for two weeks so time will tell Overall Your general opinion of this product. Only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far so good
The biggest leap forward for any home studio!

Your general opinion of this product. 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 Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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 What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? 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 How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? This product is plug and play. Couldn't be any easier. Sound How is the tone? 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 How has it stood up over time? I've owned a pair for a couple of weeks now and they haven't given me a single problem, even at high volumes.
