Feature:
It doesn't have any special features - a simple pair of speakers capable of producing very good results.
Quality:
They are very strongly and precisely built. The downside of their massive construction comes out when you have to carry them yourself - I thought I would never get home... :-)
Value:
They not only worth the money but also contradicts the generally accepted viewpoint that concerning monitors you get what you pay for. Compared to some E-MU or Dynaudio speakers they perform surprisingly well; I must say even better.
Desirability:
It was mainly an addition to my existing studio setup. Of course I wanted them, though.
Sound:
They have very detailed sound, you can really "listen into" mixes and find out most problems. The stereo imaging of these speakers is awesome; you can easily find the place of each and every instrument within a track with a huge sense of space. Frequency response is also fine - flat and reliable with a resonable low end, detailed mids, and a soft, authentic high end.
Ease of Use:
They come with a printed manual which explains how to position and install the speakers. Quite straightforward, so if you're new to sound engineering it will give you a good starting point. For professionals it may also give some specific tips about using this particular set of speakers.
Support:
I asked for some detailed information about the product before I bought it and Alesis answered within 24 hours. They seem to have a quite nice customer support.
Overall:
I think I couldn't have chosen a better pair of monitors not only for this amount but in the same technical category. If you want a highly reliable studio monitor for your project studio or a "B setup" for your existing control room I truly recommend you to go for these.

Feature:
Solid, basic. Wish the things had grills, but that's just a vestigial need left over from days when I still lived in the swamp. I'll live without grills....
Quality:
Product is very well made. Snobs tend to rate these lower end Alesis (and Alesis in general) low. Oh well, you got a lotta bucks? Then what are you looking here for?
Value:
Very good value.
Desirability:
Sure I want 'em. I bought 'em, didn't I?
Sound:
Admittedly my first experience with near fields and I know there are more expensive kinds, but for my home studio, which is small they work very well. I've mixed two cds worth of original tunes on them now and translation factor (how the final product sounds on other players, home stereo units, boomboxes, etc..) is very good. I mix down on these, I'm reasonably assured the mix will travel.
Support:
This rating is what I hope if I ever need service. Been using these for about eight months now. No problems. Knock on wood.
Overall:
I like these because they're a) inexpensive b) good. You looking for inexpensive and good? Buy these.
