Want near-field monitors on a budget? Buy these!

Advantages: Superb sound reproduction, Build quality, Price, LOUD!
Disadvantages: None really... they are pretty heavy though

I bought these to use while practicing DJing, but to be honest they are the best all round method of "noise production" I have ever used. Superb as monitors with excellent sound quality, but just as good as powered speakers for small parties etc. I have had these for about a year now and have no complaints whatsoever. The build quality is second to none - one of them fell from a height of ~4 ft and other than a couple of scuffs there has been no ...
...loud and can cope with pretty harsh bass for such a small driver. I usually listen to banging hard dance music which is pretty intense with the low frequencies, but these babies handle everything I throw at them. If you can afford them - buy them! You won't be disappointed. As good (if not better) than monitors worth £500+ ...

Review of Alesis M1 Active MK 2

Acoustic Energy AEGO, nod and enjoy

Advantages: Please read the review
Disadvantages: Hardly anything loud

...a look at it. The acoustic and tonal quality was bloody impressive and what I saw was even more so. My decision to go for Apple iPod was belated and was on purpose. I always contended that the there was no doubt about the quality of Apple but I had my own reservations about its audio capability. I only decided to go for it after being sure that there is an app. (Sony SRSGU10IP iPod Speaker) which will negate my apprehension and Sony provided it. ...
...Sony app I own. Acoustic Energy AE AEGO M speakers sport a look that justifies its performance, sleek, trendy and inviting. My friend has got the white variation and I have come to know that it has got a black option too and it is similarly impressive. I have been ruing the fact that I have not been able to get my earnings from my ciao account, the simple reason being I don’t have a UK a/c and I’m not a resident of Great Britain. Now things are settled ...

Review of Acoustic Energy AEGO M

BASS In Your Face!

Advantages: Style/Sound Quality/Bass
Disadvantages: Price

Introduction The Acoustic Energy AEGO M speakers comprise of three parts. One sub-woofer and 2 smaller speakers, all of them with a white body and black front. The two smaller speakers are designed to act as a left and a right sounds, similar to headphones, with the sub obviously offering the bass and middle sounds. Acoustic Energy is a company that specialises in hi-fi and speaker systems, the company was founded in 1987 in West London and ...
...a few sources, including the acoustic energy website that these speakers are easy to install. They are like most speakers that connect to a normal stereo, a set of wires for the right speaker and a set from the left - in this case they connect to the sub-woofer rather than a stereo itself. Now I would hardly call myself an expert in this area, but I know enough to connect a few wires in some speakers. Me and my brother undertook the task together, ...

Review of Acoustic Energy AEGO M

Home Cinema + Stereo

Advantages: clean sound, nice finish, good all round speaker
Disadvantages: a bit, just a bit "boomy" bass

I bought Monitor Audio RS6 speakers about 1.5 year ago now... And They still surprise me, getting better and better each day. In all reviews you can read about long run-in process. How very true. Each hour, day and week they will become more musical. Remember it is always worth to invest some money in cables, let them spread the wings, maybe the speakers are not top shelf, I would say more like a upper "budget" but nevertheless give them "some space". ...
...arcam system), comparing them to monitor audio brozne, smaller silvers - RS5, Acoustic Energy Neo 3 and B&W 685 (highly acclaimed - how fair). The only contestant in fact was the last - B&W with "highs" far better, far cleaner... but lows not as deep, and I wanted a speaker that would combine music with cinema performance... If not (If I was only looking for stereo) I would go for B&Ws - same price if you count in the stands. I am very happy with ...

Review of Monitor Audio RS6

Arcus TC-60 Detailed and natural mid, crystal clear treble

Advantages: Powerfull bass without annoying "boom noise". Detailed and natural mid & crystal clear high
Disadvantages: None.

Arcus TC-60 is a 3 way 3 drivers, bi-wirable speaker with gold plated sturdy binding posts. Like all German made products, I find it a seriously product when I first saw it. It delivers a superb clarity of sound in all frequencies, with very high transparencies in mid range. The bass driver can produce a powerful low bass but not excessive. The quality of female singers voice is extremely amazing, I almost believed Norah Jones was actually performing ...
