Style of Music: C&W, ballads, R&B, Island style, classic rock.

Musical Experience: Music major, studio musician before I got a real job, currently a shadetree musician.

Location: Ft. Worth, Texas, USA

Feature:
The TR5's are just basic monitors without a bunch of fancy setable knobs to confuse you. On/off and input sensitivity. The three different input options are nice. You can connect almost any device to them.

Quality:
The cabinets are nice looking and all the connections and fittings are tight.

Value:
I though these were the best value for the money. I paid $255 out the door for the pair.

Desirability:
No sex appeal for me, just the most bang for the buck in the price range I was seeking.

Sound:
I'm using as a live monitor for my Korg PA1X Pro. I like the fullness the TR5's give my vocals. Bass is fine and natural for all but the thumpers, mid-range is great and the highs are OK although I notice that the high pitched percussion items like the wood blocks and such you hear in Island type stuff doesn't cut though like they did with the small satelite/subwoofer setup I was using. I like the TR5's better for overall sound for my application.

Support:
Haven't needed support yet.

Overall:
I believe these TR5's will suffice for my application as a keyboard monitor. I have great headphones for mixing on my HD recorder but I look forward to hearing the final mix live with these.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Feature:
I dig the multiple input options. Right now I'm using RCA, but I may change that at some point as my setup grows. These do what you need em to.

Quality:
Totally solid. One small blemish on the front (where the ring around the speaker is), but I mean TINY, like the size of a pinhead...not bothering me at all

Value:
Great stuff for the money...

Sound:
sounds great to me...sitting here grinning like a kid listening to my mixes plus my favorite CDs! Brings a tear to my eye!

Support:
??? Haven't used them yet, so don't know

Sound:

Overall:
LIke "User: xxx@nomail.com" my pair of Event TR5's had some sort of ground hum. When I called Event, they where very helpful. They paid for shipping and had the speakers repaired and back to me within 10 days. I was extremely impressed with their customer service. Now my TR5 sound great. Sure, there's a little lacking in the low end but wtf do you expect, from a 5" woofer. Overall, these monitors are a the best in their price range. And most importantly, Event is a company that stands behind their products.
