Feature:
They are passives, so no real features. Detailing is acceptable.

Quality:
Behringer has a mixed reputation and their Chinese factories are the subject of debate. However, nearly ALL of the monitors you can buy are made in factories in China. Yorkville was the best I could do in the alternative department. I had an icky feeling buying these, but couldn't deny the sound and the cost for the purpose I intended. The packaging is my only complaint. They are in two cardboard boxes, with styrofoam ends. That's it. Mine were in good shape with some barely visible wear marks on the front of one.

Value:
Ridiculous value for passive at this price. If you have a small budget, a large room and a good amp, you'll be happy with these. I recommend them as B monitors for those with smaller, higher quality nearfields too.

Desirability:
These are useful speakers, but no one is going to stand in line to get them.

Sound:
If you're looking for passive monitors under $200 and you have a high quality amp, I believe these monitors stand alone. I power mine with a vintage NAD amp and the overall sound compares surprisingly well with actives in the $500 to $1000 range. I gave these the highest rating for sound due to the absurdly low price. I was shocked by their transparency, tonal balance and ability to handle higher volumes without breaking up. The only gripe you might have is that other smaller monitors close to this price range, such as those from M-Audio and Alesis, might offer a more delicate sound at normal working volumes...these speakers cry to be pushed a bit.

Ease of Use:
Binding posts are great for most cabling. Need a wheelbarrow to move them around though. They are quite heavy.

Support:
I sent Behringer one email prior to purchase and it was answered. That's good enough for me at the moment.

Overall:
Very happy to say that these were an extreme bargain. I was laughing at the sound that I got from them. They have no right to sound this good. If they hold up and keep performing at this level, I will be a satisfied customer. I have tried out Behringer mixers and been unhappy with their performance, so this was a definite shock.

Feature:
These monitors are very solid, thats why they are so heavy. The box is very solid. The drivers are also very beefy, its packing an almost 9" woofer.

Quality:
They are very reliable, and very easy to hook up.

Value:
WORTH EVERY PENNY! There not Mackie's but they are pretty close, and a fraction of the price.

Desirability:
They look "O So Sexy". They look much more expensive then what they are sold for.

Sound:
The sound is very true, the low end is a little colored, but they deliver pretty flat response. Use these and a pair of flat near-feild's and it will give you studio an amazing sound replication.

Support:
I gave them a 9 because the 1 time I called they were very help-ful, there wasn't a problem with the monitors them self, but they got suck in customs.

Overall:
These are amazing they reproduce great when matched with some flat monitors, and the sound great by them selves for normal listening.

Sound:
Great Quality Studio Monitors for the PRICE! YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM! GREAT FOR BUDGET STUDIOS! WON'T BREAK THE BANK FOR A BIG SOUND! When YOU already have a clean power Amp! Crown, Yamaha or QSC power amps will make these monitors hit hard in your Studio! They Kick AZZ! Run some Yamha RP5 or Roland micro amped any smaller but powerful flat monitors and you got an expensive sound for less money!! YOUR SMALL PROJECT STUDIO WILL SOUND LIKE THE BIG STUDIO WITH THESE BABIES! I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MINE!!
