Feature:
RMC, built-in EQ, multiple inputs, and the sheer power(220 watts total, 70 HF and 150 LF) of these monitors is just amazing.

Quality:
Solid in every aspect.

Value:
Great value, but they could have been cheaper as it is with most things.

Desirability:
Lots of technology is running in these. They have very smooth lines that are quite appealing to the eyes and there is a db meter on the front of each speaker that fluctuates based on the volume being played. Very cool overall.

Sound:
For the price range I could not have found a better monitor. I compared these to several others including the Dynaudio BM5A, KRK RP8, Yamaha HS80M, Event Precision 6, etc. and found these to be the most neutral and accurate of the bunch. When I got these home and set them up using the RMC setup routine they fit the room better than I could have imagined.

Ease of Use:
Took a moment to set everything up but once it was all plugged in and setup properly they have been a dream to use.

Support:
I have yet to have any problems with them as i've only had them a month and a half.

Overall:
I plan on keeping these for many years to come barring any huge issues such as completely failing on me or exploding for some reason :P after the warranty is up. The only other monitors I can think of that compare to these are the Dynaudio BM5As. Again the sound quality and versatility of these monitors is just astounding to me.

Feature:
As far as JBL's technology for "removing" room resonance, i can tell you from experience and knowledge its a bunch of crap. You cant EQ out problem areas. Don't get me wrong, it drastically improves the accuracy of the speaker in the given area, but don't confuse it as the 100% problem solver: far from it. Nothing beats properly designed Bass Traps, and MF, HF absorption and diffusion. So, if you have resonance in your room, look into building some bass traps and some broadband absorbers, failing that some Auralex and then maybe this speaker. But bass traps are a NEED to improve the accuracy of ANY speaker in the Low Mid and Bass areas. So don't be fooled by JBL. It helps, but it don't fix it.

Quality:
JBL always makes robust products. So I would buy this, I'm just skeptical if it really sounds THAT harsh...the way i heard it.

Value:
Its pretty good as far as value, but I dont think theyre worth THAT MUCH!

Desirability:
Im thinking of demoing a pair in my room. I have acoustic treatments in my room, and I would like to actualy hear JBL's technology coupled with that to see if I can hear things I wasnt hearing before.

Sound:
I have used these monitors and was not really impressed with the sound. It was very clean sounding and seem to have the capability to sound nice but who ever set these up had them set up in such a way that it sounded so harsh. I heard a pair of DS-8's right next to them and it just blew these away. I own a pair of DS-7's and i just love them to death. Ive been in the pro audio business for about 5 years now and have always been an audiophile which translated great into my career as an engineer and producer. As far as sound quality, i don't think they're worth the 1k price tag. I would look into something like ADAM professional if you have that budget, if not check out some Roland DS-8's or 7's if you don't have the space.

Ease of Use:
Seems pretty easy to use and set up.

Support:
IDK

Overall:
Good product. A bit expensive for its build, but non the less I am intrested.
