"I use these for monitoring with Protools 8. I have no complaints with the sound quality. Good basic speakers. They have no frills though and looks wise don't offer much. Fortunately I don't need them to LOOK good, just SOUND good, and they do deliver there! "

"Clean, crisp, sharp, uncolored...and a GREAT value. I have these connected to an HT Omega Claro HALO sound card in my DAW. They are cleaner than my Behringer MS-20s of course. Excellent for editing, recording, and general listening. I am quite impressed...Mackie quality at a reasonable price. "

This is a great speaker for home listening or small studio purposes. I have them directly hooked up to my vinyl turntables and they represent that sound extremely well! …"  Read Full Review »
