Heh, thats what I use in my studio, there not amazingly flat, but they go
pretty low, and like Ron said they are really tough.
They are also not unacceptably ugly, which I appreciate after staring at
them for hours.
We have genelec and yamaha actives (can't remember model numbers) at
work, which are much smaller, but dont sound as flat to me. The genelecs
are more expensive the yamahas about the same. We also have some midfield
monitors, but they are in a different league.
