Feature:
I find the 4 position high frequency control to be useless,since the tweeters sound fine at the flat position & going beyond the flat position would make the tweeters entirely too bright & harsh.

Quality:
Samson-for the most part,have been very reliable & these monitors seem to be built exceptionally well...very solid.

Value:
For the typical street price,the value is good.

Desirability:
It's mainly a practical addition to my studio,as secondary monitors,but in terms of appearance,these are some bad mofo's!

Sound:
For what I paid for my A5's,I cannot find any fault in these monitors,which is why I gave them a 10. Some notable improvements over the old Resolv series-particularly in the mid & high frequency ranges,as they articulate mixes surprisingly well. The overall bass response is a slight improvement with the A5's,as there is a bit more bass than the old Resolvs but still a hint of boxiness/boominess at high volumes,but nothing that presents a problem. These monitors get the job done quite well,as they give a very fair representation of live sounds & recordings & I am under the impression that mixes will translate well to other systems,but I cannot confirm this,as I've only owned them for few hours.

Ease of Use:
My A5's are ideally positioned in a properly treated room,so that being said,it was effortless for me to achieve the sounds I was looking for.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Since I got a deep discount on my pair,I would not replace them for the typical street price.
