"A Perfect Cost/Performance option to Buy!"

Feature:
Could have volume knob in front to better control.

Quality:
Its value for money. For USD200, you get a lot better quality than the expensive counterpart monitors in the Pro-market.

Value:
A+ for its value.

Desirability:
I got it then.

Sound:
The Sound is very captivating and no words can describe its truthful deliverance of music and playback. Its 'WOW'! No more,No Less. You pay for what you get, its good.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use.

Support:
Think not needed yet.

Overall:
This pair of big boxes is quite good for its price range, cheaper models may be less powerful while powerful models cost more. This pair strikes its balance for cost performance and this should be the condideration for budget/smaller studios. You can buyer cheaper sets but live to regret, maybe. You can pay more for prestigious models, but waste unnecessary bucks. This ONE PAIR of awesome Speakers will not result in the both mentioned scenarios.

"Leathal Sound-The Bad WAY!!"

Feature:
Not many features..just a volume knob

Quality:
Read what i wrote about in the Sound section...youll know why i gave it a "1-the worst" for sound.

Value:
I really dont think that this product should be sold for $200 seriously...i mean ZZOUNDS not even sell this dangerous item. Comon ZOUNDS you guys have such nice products but this one is LETHAL!!!

Desirability:
The product obviously has a lot of appeal thats why i bought it but mind you the quality and sound is lethal(in a bad way) literrally!!

Sound:
Ok...I will keep it REAL. Well after i just got these from UPS, I opened them up and read the manual thorughly first. Then i hooked them up to my m-audio fast track. Well they worked the first 15 mins with "ok" sound then guess what??!!! There was this loud noise!!! like some radio frequency or something(it was not a hum)!!! The sound was so so very loud. I thought it was coming from my protools. i shut off protools in the middle of my project, but the sound still did not stop!!! i shut of my computer and audio interface directly from the power outlet, but the sound was still there and getting louder!!! I then turned down the volume of my monitors both left and right but the sound was still there...and then i finnally found out it was coming from the left monitor!!! i mean i acutually turned the volume completely down and went as far as to unplug the 1/4 cable from the input but the radio frequency kind of sound was still there and louder!!! the sound is like some kind of phone signal gone bad!!! Then i finnally turned off my left monitor and FINAALLY the sound went BUT WAIT!!! it did not just turn off as soon as i shut it off...the sound went away but slowly!!! MAN!!! that was a seriously bad experience for somebody in the first fifteen minutes of using it!!! and mind you i am no rookie...I have been doing this stuff for 8 years so i know quite a lot about montiors and this one was a BAD BAD experience. I dont trust this company no more!! those monitors could have made me deaf!! Literally!! And dont think i had the montiors turned up all the way...coz i had them actually on 12 o'clock(thats 0db)!!!NOW thats some BAD SOUND!!!

Ease of Use:
I would say they were easy to hook up atleast

Support:
Well the support was ok i mean all they ssaid really was return it.

Overall:
I am gonna now get a refund for this product and buy some other monitors. I wil never ever in my life buy from SAMSON EVER AGAIN!!! This product almost made me deaf literally (read my review on its sound)

Samson Resolv 50a Active Reference Monitors
What is the difference between a good pair of hi-fi speakers and true studio monitors? Two things. First, hi-fi home speakers exaggerate the lows (and often the highs) to create maximum 'impact'. This can be fun to listen to but it's seldom accurate. Studio monitors are very accurate to insure a real reproduction of what is actually being recorded. And second, monitors must be very transparent sounding. This allows you to effectively mix parts of the music like vocals, bass, and even reverb trails without each part colliding with another. Well, you have just described the sound of the new Samson Resolve Series Studio Monitors. The Resolv50A is a powered studio monitor with a 5.25 in. woofer and a 1 in. Titanium tweeter. It's bi-amp powered by 75 watts of power (50W for the lows, 25W for the highs), and A/V shielded. Features include automatic standby mode, 1/4 in. TRS balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs.

Powerful and compact, Resolv 50a monitors sound rich and accurate, and are ideal for tight spots.
