Feature:
A really, really good instruction manual was included. Power cables too. But no speaker cables were included so factor that in when shopping. Spend well on the cables.
Official Alesis Bass port plugs are the only thing missing from this excellent set of low cost, high quality monitors. I'm sure something could be crafted up if needed.
Quality:
Gave it a nine because one of the Blue power leds didnt work out of the box. I ended up putting a piece of tape over the other speakers led cause it was too bright anyway!! They are really bright infact :)
Value:
These are worth more than their selling price. I think the company knows it and made a bet on it.
Desirability:
These are a practical addition to my set up. Again if you read through the included manual it goes to show how deep the company went into R&D. The set is designed the way it is for a reason. To lay flat or upright depending on what your mixing. Their almost two sets in one because of this. Thats genius. No more using a different set to mix vocals...genius.
Sound:
These speakers sound excellent for their cost. Listen to your favorite artists through them while tuning your master EQ and your set. I've used many low cost and these are one of the best. Some say the highs are too high or the mids are to high...adjust your EQs. These are just plain crisp. Get over it. A subwoofer option designed specifically for this set would be very nice. But don't change the recipe Alesis these sound honest.
Ease of Use:
Again tune your master out and your ready to roll. Occasionally sound check your work on other systems of course! Just like other speakers you'll adjust to these, but I believe it isn't as hard as of adjustment.
Support:
If you haven't looked at the .pdf manual yet then you need to do so. It will show you what type of company your buying from. It becomes quite obvious Alesis is very dedicated to what they do while your reading this precise and informational product manual. I dont think I'd have a problem with them if I needed to speak to someone about something.
Overall:
I've owned these speakers for 6 or more years and they're holding up just fine. I paid the same price for them then and would do it all over again if these failed on me now. Way to go Alesis. Thank You.

Feature:
I like the Biamp, and two hole design. I think it would have been nice to add switches in the front, and have caps to cover the bass holes for acoustic tuning.
Quality:
Sturdy, solid, and clear. What more can i ask for?
Value:
Seriously, i put a lot of research into this, these are the best for youre money, the only speakers I'd consider getting next are Mackies. But I've had these for a year and a half and I don't really even want Mackies now.
Desirability:
Very standard and semetrical design, they match my Kurzweil, and computer well. I'm so used to the sound of these now that I can tell when a mix is off, or whether it will sound level on another play back device or not (well not perfectly, but no one can really).
Sound:
They really do sound great. It sounds very clean and equalized. They can get loud, but its hard to judge the real deep bass. But I think everyone should have some sort of sub to flip on and off to check the low frequencies. Don't get me wrong though, the bass sounds good and clear.
Support:
Haven't needed to talk to them, because they work perfect. Is that pre-emptive support?
Overall:
If I mess them up I'll fix them, I have no need for anything else for many years to come.
