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.

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".
