"Samson's Don't Lie!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'll add something later but keep 'em as part of the overall multi-tiered studio monitors that you see in the best of the best studios (Bob Rock using one larger "playback" monitor in vocal booth (forgot the brand)
Sound
I went from using similar-sized compact stereo system speakers to these and right away I heard the "studio mix" - tighter bass and sweeter high's (a tech cliche but its true!) No additional knobs required, everything's built in to respond true to the specs stated. Especially effective with my Boss DR-670 drum machine. As Samson states, the seperation of instruments via frequencies and EQ tweak on my digital 16-track is clear and makes for a mix that doesn't lie. My only gripe: my studio is a square room with vaulted cielings, a few bits of foam and hard fiberboard. Acoustics can ruin a perfect score!
Features
I like the volume knobs that "click" in at 12:00 (always turn speakers on at 0db!!!!) You can go louder, but that's not what near-fields are for y'all!
Ease of Use
Just follow the manual's "sweet spot" reference for how you sit and placement of speakers, use 1/4 inch (as opposed to RCA) set at 12:00 and life is good!
Quality
I love the "flat matte black" finish. They are constructed to withstand at least a F-2 Hurricane.
Manufacturer Support
So far so good!
The Wow Factor
I love the laser-like blue l.e.d. "on" indicator. Fusion drive is powered up for interstellar sound travel
