"Pretty Good."

Feature:
Light, loud, lots of connectors.

Quality:
Except for the (to my ears and setup) coloration in the mid-bass, I think it's a good quality powered monitor. I am keeping them.

Value:
Can't beat the price to quality ratio.

Sound:
I used cool edit to generate a frequency sweep. Somewhere within 150-400 hz the audio peaked noticeably then almost dissapeared. Not very scientific, but to my ears, in an open setup with no reflections, there is a coloration around that band--mid bass has a huge peak and high bass has a trough. Low bass is good. Highs are crisp and seem flat with the midrange.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play went so fast I didn't even see the hour glass.

Support:
n/a
