Back to Product Information
Sound: I was tempted to rate this as a 6, but then I thought of the "other" guy's and went to a 7. I use and 01v96 and DP4. You definite need a sub for near fields, but these tend to lack the warmth that exists in other higher end near field powered monitors. Feature: Very nice, feature laden, digital in is the reason I bought these. The HF and LF controls should be on the front. Value: I got a very good deal on these, but overall I feel that I am paying for the name some extent. Manufacturer Support: No issues as I work with the local dealer on the product. Overall: "you get what you pay for" just don't pay more than you have too! This is a very clean and quite monitor when used with a digital input.

Sound: Not a lot of punch. Low end ports can "whistle". Feature: Nice to be able to adjust LF and HF. Quality: Built Roland tough. Value: Overpriced for overhyped digital features. Manufacturer Support: Had problem with power supply failure. Roland support team was friendly and offered solutions. Overall: As soon as another problem arises, I will look for a different set of near-field monitors.
