Feature:
Small and compact and has pretty much every connection and bell and whistle. I'm running balanced, out of my MOTU and leave all my settings at defualt and run level at 12 o'clock(it's plenty loud). For something so small it has great bass and I hear from the magazines that a matching subwoofer is coming.

Quality:
It's built like a tank. Heavy and dense feeling. Very industrial looking and I like the blue light.

Value:
There are tons of cheaper ones nowdays like the Egosys I used to have but these are built way better, and have that dry sound that I wanted. It's definitely worth the money.

Sound:
The way i'd decribe it is Clear, Open and Dry. I heard these at a friends home studio so he sold me.

Support:
No problems so can't say. They had great support before when I called them about their old synth stuff.

Overall:
I've had and used tons of EMU gear and they always makes great stuff at good prices. Just wish they'd make all their new computer stuff for the Mac too. Come on EMU stop being so "Creative".

Feature:
Has all the connections you need.

Quality:
Built like a tank - really.

Value:
Well worth the $$$.

Desirability:
Cool blue lights and metal flake cabinets look good on my desk.

Sound:
Very revealing speaker. Flat as you want them to be. They don't fatigue your ears at reasonable levels. That said, these things can crank out distortion free sound at higher than safe levels. I bought these for my home studio and now prefer them to the $1000 plus ones we use at work. Hooked them up to a M-audio Fast Track Pro.

Ease of Use:
It's a monitor.

Support:
Have not had to use yet.

Overall:
If they keep on working then maybe forever.

Style of Music: Nine Inch Nails... I don't think it will fit any of these styles. The most unique artist I've ever heard.
Musical Experience: 5 years of crap, time to wake up and make some real music.
Location: The Nederlands.

 

 
Feature:
It comes with everything you need. You will have to buy your own quality cables though.

Quality:
Build like a tank, small, heavy, sexy, solid.

Value:
Payed €230,- for each monitor. It is fair and square the best bang for the bug, no matter what others say.

Desirability:
Very sexy.

Sound:
You would be amazed what comes out of these little boxes. Precision Monitors, fair and square.

Ease of Use:
Just make sure you read the manual. Know what you're doing before you operate the PM5 Precision monitors.

Support:
Never had to use Support service, so I think it's worth a 10. ;)

Overall:
These are powerfull, fair sounded monitors. I don't think I will need to replace them. Maybe someday if my Project studio grows into a studio.
