Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • Plug and play with usb and xlr, no stress and extremely well built.
  • The Monitors actually have a great build quality, both the speaker quality and the cabinets.
  • The foam pad built onto the bottom is good enough for de-coupling that I won't be needing a sub decoupler / riser for my hardwood floor

Reviews around power (5.00 of 5)

  • In a studio or a small-ish venue (25' x 50' or less) it has enough power and sound output to provide most of the low end
  • Rockville has produced a fine powered subwoofer for smaller rooms
  • This allows a user to feed either a stereo signal with the appropriate cable or a mono bass output with a Y-adapter cable (which I prefer) to each of the two inputs, thus maximizing the available power applied to the driver

Reviews around price (4.37 of 5)

  • For the size and sound of the Monitors you get, I think $150 is a great price, especially since you can spend more than that on other well-known speaker brands that are only 3" monitors and don't have the same frequency response
  • Seen these speakers at a good price and thought I'd take a chance on them
  • I Just sent back 3 other SUBS before finding this GREAT SUBWOOFER and a this Price
  • For anyone who's looking for excellent quality at a excellent price you can't get any better than the Rockville I would recommend it to anyone who is just starting as well as for professional artists themselves.
  • Speakers sound very good for the price very loud speakers

Reviews around end (3.98 of 5)

  • If you are looking for good clarity with good low ends and a lot of volume, get these
  • Changing the amplifier to boost the top end 4db ended up messing the mids that makes vocals sound shrill (not unlike playing tape on fast forward)
  • The mids and lows in these speakers are JBL like, but the top end is missing a bit of sparkle
  • These are great sounding speakers with decent low ends and has a lot of clarity
  • This sub has a nice punch to it and the low end it has

Reviews around bass (3.92 of 5)

  • The bass is lacking for a monitor that takes up so much space
  • They could easily be loud enough for a good sized house party, they just wouldn't have enough bass to give it a real "club" feel
  • but if I were to grade it vs. the other equipments I had before, Onkyo 7.1 was a C- (bass was fat and muddy)
  • The bass sounds really nice just didn’t come with RCA plugs
  • They are loud enough with good bass response and look great

Reviews around sub (3.87 of 5)

  • Awesome sub, has great dynamic capability, purchased with the auralex suspension to reduce vibrations, best money I’ve spent on a reference sub in years
  • This is actually a good sub but running it at high volume will kill it
  • I was pretty skeptical in the idea that everyone LOVES this sub, and leaves great comments...

Reviews around monitor (3.81 of 5)

  • To be honest, I didn't expect these to be the best monitors out on the market, being that they are under $200
  • With previous passive monitors, I would bring them to the music store, and pair them up with different
  • AJ ONE-UP have spoken and recommend these great monitors

  • Simply amazing....right out of the box these monitors sound awesome!!

Reviews around speaker (3.79 of 5)

  • These monitors have small scratches, the box is damaged and these speakers make a strange noise even though I do not have a music on

  • these speakers emit a loud white noise that gets very annoying
  • These speakers look good and sound good for the price you pay
  • A definate grab if you're looking for good quality speakers and on a budget

  • These monitors have small scratches, the box is damaged and these speakers make a strange noise even though I do not have a music on
  • these speakers emit a loud white noise that gets very annoying
  • Second if turned up above the half way point on the internal amp it makes a soft humming noise when no sound is being input

Reviews around hiss (1.00 of 5)

  • There’s an annoying hiss when volume is at zero but the speakers are so beautiful I can live with it

Reviews around pop (1.00 of 5)

  • These sound better than some $20 speakers but the popping is making them not worth the price
  • And you are also treated to the same loud POP when shutting them off.
  • To avoid the loud POP, I get to crawl under my audio desk, reach behind the sub and turn it down, then switch it on or off
  • This subwoofer works great once you get past the cone shattering, loud POP when powering them on
