Feature:
Given the fact that there are so many options for connection, I think it should at least come with the basic cables for operation. It didn't even come with the cable to connect the left & right speakers!!!! I was blown away! All it came with was a power cord. I had to call zZounds for a RCA speaker cord.
Quality:
Extremely solid and looks great right out of the box. You can tell it was put together by pros. No loose knobs, switches or connections. When bass is turned up, you can physically see the woofers expand and there's NO rattle or excessive vibration. There is a little speaker hiss, but that's normal. As far as my computer monitor is concerned, it's extremely close and it doesn't affect the speakers one iota.
Value:
I think it's worth every penny, and with the free shipping you really can't go wrong. I can't see needing anything else for a very long time! Even if I do "upgrade", these will definately be used as a part of a future setup.
Desirability:
Very sexy setup. They sit authoritatively on top of my studio desk and just beg to be used. They want me to go all night, I say "sounds good" . . .
Sound:
I think these speakers sound great! They handle low and high range extremely well. I mean for studio monitors, you don't want them to be pumping bass or sounding too tinny anyway. You want them to be middle of the road so you can hear what the heck you're doing. I think that these speakers give me a great idea as to what I'm doing sonically.
Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to set up and use. Lots of options as far as connectability; it should be possible for EVERYONE to use them with their setups.
Support:
I had to call and get a speaker wire the day that I received the speakers and they e-mailed me by that evening saying that one was being sent out. That's my only experience thus far, but it's sure nice getting through to a person in about 1-2 minutes, especially one that isn't based in India!!!!!
Overall:
As I said above, as I continue to build my studio, these MS40's will definitely be a part of my future setups. I can't see how they couldn't be. I'm in love. If I had to get replacement monitors, I'd stick with these as a replacement if they were damaged in a fire or stolen. I wish I knew it didn't come with the speaker wire before I bought it and it would have saved me a trip to the store, but it was pretty minor. I love the sound of them most of all.
