"LOOK AND SEE WHAT IS IN STUDIOS."

Sound:

ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS, YES YOU GET LOW END,PLENTY, JUST ENOUGH TO KNOW WHERE YOUR BASE IS, MIDS IS ON POINT AND HIGH IS BRIGHT, I USE -2 ON MY HIGH. WHAT EVER I MIX, AGAIN-LET ME REPEAT!! WHAT EVER I MIX, ON THESE SPEAKERS SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME ON ANYTHING OUT THE STUDIO, IN MY CARS ,AND THEY ALL HAVE STEREO IN THEM ,HOME THEATER,ANY WHERE. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT IN A MONITOR. THEY ARE NOT THE BEST SOUNDING SPEAKERS, SO THAT MEANS WHAT YOU MIX SOUND LIKE IT WILL SOUND AWESOME, IF YOU MIX BAD THEN YEA IT WILL SOUND BAD. I HEARD MACKIES AND KRKS AND M AUDIO AND JBL, THEY SOUND A LITTLE BETTER BUT IT DONT TRANSLATE WELL, MACKS- TOO MUCH BASE, KIRKS WAY OFF AND M AUDIO IS O.K BUT THESE DO SOUND BETTER THAN THE JBL AND M AUDIO,SOOOO ON THAT NOTE THESE THINGS ARE AWESOME AND LOUD.

Feature:

IT WILL ADAPT TO YOUR ROOM WITH THE SETTINGS

Ease of Use:

LEARN THESE SPEAKERS IN ONE MIX.

Quality:

YAMS BABY,

Manufacturer Support:

DONT NEED SUPPORT

Value:

NOTHING COMES CLOSE UNDER 1500 PERIOD , SO IF YOU FIND SOMETHING BETTER THAN SPEND THAT MONEY, FOR PEOPLE WITH BILLS GRAB THESE AND BE DONE.AGAIN IT IS ABOUT ACCURACY NOT ---OHHHH I GOT ADAMS A7 OR GENE, I BET I CAN MIX ON THESE AS GOOD AS ANYONE WITH ANY OTHER SPEAKER AND I AM NOT A PRO.JUST GOT GOOD EARS.

The Wow Factor:

I GOOGLE STUDIOS AND I YOUTUBE STUDIO VIDEOS,I SEE NOTHING BUT YAMS,NS10 OR HS80... I DONT SEE A7 AND ANY OTHER MONITORS, MAYBE MACKS HERE AND THERE. GO FIGA

Overall:

I WILL GET SOME SMALL SPEAKERS TO A-B WITH. LIKE MAYBE SOME MACKS OR SO, I EVEN LIKE THE LOOK OF THE 3031A BECAUSE OF THE RIBBON AND I HEARD THEY SOUND LIKE A7. BUT THEY ARE BEHRINGER. SO I WILL SEE BUT I AM HAPPY WITH THESE FOR NOW.

"The Reality studio moniters"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

These are wonderful studio moniters. I have a small home studio and have just put out my first CD. These speakers are dry, dry, dry. Being a singer the term flat has such ugly conotations. These guys sound just like reality. I add effects later. I had other Yamahas ms202's from 1990 and they were great but these are better by a long shot.

Feature:

Speaker stands are great

The Wow Factor:

makes no difference

Overall:

I have only owned them for a couple months. I hope to use them until my studio is too big for them if that happens. I want them to last for decades. Thats the way I am.
