SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I use a pair of the MSP3 monitors for my Yamaha P80 digital piano and the sound is very accurate and responsive. I feel like practicing even more now that I have good speakers! Feature: I like the volume control knobs on the front--very accessible. There's also high and low equalizers, which I don't seem to need because I like the response flat and accurate. It's also nice to have two volume control levels for the two inputs, which I currently don't use but probably will in the future when I practice along with music. Quality: Seems like it's built to last forever. Solid construction. Value: Price seems pretty fair. I'm very pleased with the sound for my particular application--amplifying my digital piano in my home, so I don't feel I paid too much. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to, thankfully, and don't plan to need it. The Wow Factor: I like the styling--simple straightforward, professional looking, not too flashy, and delivers great sound. Overall: The MSP3s work great for what I need them for--monitoring my piano playing in my apartment. I wonder if they'll be loud enough to play at parties or small gigs? I may have to buy some more powerful speakers when that time comes, but the MSP3s cannot be beat for monitoring my piano sound in my home studio.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound is accurate, as studio monitors should, but they are a bit small. I guess that's just my own opinion, but oh well. Bass response is a bit on the low end. I turn the bass all the way up, so that my final mixes don't sound wacked out. SOMETIMES, these really shine. Maybe I just like bigger speakers in general. For studio monitors, I bet they rock. This is my first experience with monitors; in the past, I just mixed on a home stereo. PEOPLE SAY THAT THE MIX OF MY NEW CD IS WAY BETTER, SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST IGNORE MY NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!! heh. Just listen to them yourself. Feature: I do like the outputs/inputs a lot. I like the flexibility of these, so that I can hook up my computer, sound board, or external sound card. I liked that. I wish it would they would have a headphone jack, but hey, you can't have everything. Quality: Cool. Value: A bit high for the product. Manufacturer Support: Works fine. The Wow Factor: Hm. Not too sexy.

Sound: is musical, on dry side. Obviously. The size. Exactly what I need while spending great deal of my time in front of my computer. They are used as a set of "deLuxe" :) computer speakers ... Doing some pruduction on them too. They go well together with JetAudio soft-player. Its build-in pre-sets and plugins go very well together with the little Yamahas. Oh and with these you will be rewarded if using some decent sound card. Feature: are few but no need for more in my case. Knobs, LEDs and all work, no squiking or something. Solid. Ease of Use: is easy. :)) Quality: is TOP. Had them apx. 5 years now and can say they seen some action, numerous house moves and so and they still perform superb and look great. Value: is good as I feel I got more for my money... Manufacturer Support: was never needed. So thats the best support in the first place isnt it? Overall: they are EXCELLENT!!!!
