This product is no longer available at zZounds.
We recommend this product instead:

The ideal choice for smaller studios requiring nearfield monitoring, the perfectly formed PM0.5 offers 70 watts of bi-amped power and produces great full range performance with exceptional neutrality even at high sound pressure levels. The compact dimensions also enable accurate placement in confined or awkward spaces, with the dispersion from the two way ported enclosure design tailored such that it will deliver a superb sound almost regardless of room acoustics. Features a UFLC 20mm soft dome HF unit and 130mm LF woofer and input gain control. Learn More...

Feature:
Just a straightforward monitor.
Quality:
VERY solid.
Value:
I compared these to M-Audio BX5's and the Fostex won hands down. The M-Audio sounded tinny and harsh.
Sound:
Nice full neutral sound -- great for mixing.
Support:
I like Fostex support, but haven't used it for problems, just questios from time to time.
Overall:
These monitors seem very accurate, so for the price, they're awfully hard to beat. Fostex started as a speaker driver company, so their experience shows.

Feature:
Hardly any. Which is strangely reassuring! Volume, balanced xlr & trs jacks.
Quality:
For the price they are very solid and sound refined.
Value:
Serious studio monitoring can be undertaken with these. However, mixes would have to be referenced on larger systems for accurate bass and for a more broad sense of space between sounds.
Desirability:
sounds better than it looks. If you shop with your ears you will want it!
Sound:
For their size and price they are excellent. Nuetral and well balanced throughout the frequency range. They can handle the low end much better than one would think, looking at them. Best placed away from rear walls.
Support:
I have no idea yet!
Overall:
For monitors of this size only GENELECS sounded better. In fact for the next size up the FOSTEX pm1's sounded very similar and the rest of the competition at this price point, lacked the refinement and long term use of the pm05's
