SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Great product, especially for the price. It needs to sit correctly in a well thought out room to hear the bottom end properly. Fantastic for tracking and not too bad for mixing. You can hear things that just can't be hearrd on a normal speaker system. It gets a 9 because of the price and the quality of the sound involved. Feature: No real features. You have to tune your room!!! Volume and on/off switch. That's about it. They're worth it when placed correctly. Ease of Use: Pretty simple. Quality: Mine have been punished for about 3 years now and sound great. One of the speakers has developed a quiet rattle (in the box construction, not driver) around the 200hz range. Rarely heard though, usually when tracking not mixing. Value: Every studio should have these instead of NS10. They're accurate and sound sweeter. Manufacturer Support: Haven't used them. Will downgrade if they give a reason to in future. The Wow Factor: The new ones look great in piano black Overall: Simply put, they aren't a top of the line studio monitor with the most accurate of mixes. However, who has that type of money. Get 'em and you'll find a way of placing them in the room and enjoying them.

Fostex PM1MKII Monitor Customer Review submitted September 11, 2008

Sound: Very smooth sound. Not too bottom heavy or sizzly on the high end. These monitors require a fairly long break-in period. When first set up, the sound was almost all mid-range, to the point of wanting to exchange them for another brand. After a few days, the sound got considerably better. After a few months, the change was dramatic. Also, upgrading to high quality inter-connect cables made a noticeable sound improvement. Feature: N/A Ease of Use: Just connect a play. Quality: Sturdy deep enclusure, nice piano black finish. Value: Probably a little better for the price than most monitors. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: Nice looking enclosure. Looks good setting in a studio. Overall: Will use it as long as it keeps performing.
