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.

Desirability:
I like the styling--simple straightforward, professional looking, not too flashy, and delivers great sound.

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!

Support:
Haven't had to, thankfully, and don't plan to need it.

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.

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.

Desirability:
Hm. Not too sexy.

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.

Support:
Works fine.
