I want to get near field monitors so one day I will probably get some HR824s but untill then these work for many purposes - monitoring, live sound, etc. I dont think I will ever be able to listen to these things at unity gain on my board at the distance they sit from me (about 15 feet). These things are loud.
Sound
Not the best for monitoring, too much space between tweeter/cones...
Features
Could use a 1/4 inch in, the thru is nice though.
Quality
They just got moved halfway across ontario and I set them back up and they work perfectly. They withstood freezing temperatures no problem.
Value
To me, they were free so that is pretty much the best value you can get.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know.
The Wow Factor
They look really nice as my main speakers, make me feel like a big shot. I also like the blue power light on the front.
