At a glance:Pros:Not much more expensive than a decent set of 5.1 computer speakersThey sound AWESOME, at least to an amateur audiophileNo wall wart style power supplies, just a cordAuxiliary input and headphone jacks on front of right speakerStandard RCA stereo input jacksCons:* If you want to connect them directly to a computer line out, you need a special cord with RCA stereo plugs on one end

INTROFirst of all, it should be noted that although these are labeled as studio monitors and packaged as such they are clearly targeted more for the basic consumer who just wants a decent set of 2.0 speakers.

this set is worth every cent and the quality of sound is great for almost any size room

For music there are a great "reference" set, I'm listening to my mixes with new ears and really working on eq mixing and these monitors have helped tremendously

Bottom Line:If your a Pro needing the best these wont be a good fit, but if you a college student looking for a good set of monitors that will help you mix your project or video go for

I've had my set of 3a monitors for over 5 months and love them

I know these aren't the greatest set of
