Samson Resolv A8 Active Studio Monitors

No longer available at zZounds
Redesigned cabinet design. Bi-amp power with 75 watts on the LF driver and 25 watts on the HF driver.

With a complete redesign of our Resolv reference monitors, Samson has combined precise engineering and the highest-quality components with an elegant new cabinet design, providing extremely accurate monitoring for recording studio, post-production and other multimedia applications.

The New Black
Starting with the cabinet, we used a piano black lacquer finish on the front panel. Inset into this panel is a sleek, time-aligned waveguide for the speaker components, allowing minimum diffraction. We also rounded the inner edge of the tuned low frequency port to reduce turbulence at high listening levels.

Stay Active
There are a number of advantages to Resolv active monitors. With dedicated power amps and crossovers that are custom-designed for their speakers, Resolv's high and low frequency drivers produce only those frequencies for which they are most efficient. And that means optimized performance for every application.

The High and Low
Professional features are abundant on our new Resolv series. Their new woven carbon fiber woofers provide tight and controlled low frequency response, while their silk dome tweeters deliver smooth, sweet highs. Cooler operation means no harmonic distortion, so Resolv includes an external heat-sink, ferro-fluid cooling and a ventilated ceramic motor structure. We've also included a four-position high frequency lift control for customizing to your mixing room. And of course, Resolv monitors are AV shielded for operation near computer monitors.

The read more Finest Components
For critical listening, the highest quality speaker components are found on our new Resolv monitors. The Resolv A8 delivers 100 watts RMS with 75 watts used on the low frequency driver and 25 watts on the tweeter. Its 8-inch woven carbon fiber woofer reduces inner cabinet reflections from passing through the cone material and mixing with the waveform coming off the front of the speaker. The absence of acoustic transfer results in a clean low frequency sound without low frequency smear. The Resolv A8 also employs a 1.25-inch silk dome ferro-fluid tweeter, which gives the high frequencies a true, natural sound without false harmonics that can be created by other types of tweeters.

With their stylish elegance and precise engineering, Resolv reference monitors complement your recording space and render an accurate mix that instills total confidence in your final production.

"Unbelievable sound, features and build quality for the money"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I would buy them again if this is stolen. It it breaks down, I will have to think whether I would buy these again, as I only have my monitors in the last 1 week.

Sound
The sound quality of this monitor is excellent. I use this for my Roland workstation where I used to connect it from my Peavey KB 3. This studio monitors blows me away when I listen to them now because I can listen to a much more depth of new sounds that I can never hear from my peavey. The amplified instruments sounds very clear and no humms on idle mode as well. The sound is very responsive and no lag in sound, echo,feedback nor delays. Right now, I am tempted to keep my Samson Resolv A8 and sell my relatively new Peavey. The A8 is classed as a studio monitor, but with 100Watts per monitor, and 200W on stereo setup, I reckon these monitors can relatively be use as main sound speakers/amp setup for a keyboard player on small hall live gigs.

Features
Most useful feature would be it's broad spectrum response. Very versatile in various styles of music.

Ease of Use
Very much user friendly.

Quality
Hard to say about the quality as I have only been using my pair of A8 in the last week. But pretty robust looking as it is also heavy, which is a good indication of having solid buid and quality.

Value
With all its features, I would challenge everyone to match the quality read more of these for it's price. I have been looking for a high end amp and nothing would beat these from the sound/price point ratio.

Manufacturer Support
Havn't triend the support yet.

The Wow Factor
I want to have the best sounding possible studio monitors and I have been looking for months comparing them. Nothing beat these monitors on the
