"Unbelievable sound, features and build quality for the money"

I would buy them again if this is stolen. It it breaks down, I will have to think whether I would buy these again, as I only have my monitors in the last 1 week.
Sound
The sound quality of this monitor is excellent. I use this for my Roland workstation where I used to connect it from my Peavey KB 3. This studio monitors blows me away when I listen to them now because I can listen to a much more depth of new sounds that I can never hear from my peavey. The amplified instruments sounds very clear and no humms on idle mode as well. The sound is very responsive and no lag in sound, echo,feedback nor delays. Right now, I am tempted to keep my Samson Resolv A8 and sell my relatively new Peavey. The A8 is classed as a studio monitor, but with 100Watts per monitor, and 200W on stereo setup, I reckon these monitors can relatively be use as main sound speakers/amp setup for a keyboard player on small hall live gigs.
Features
Most useful feature would be it's broad spectrum response. Very versatile in various styles of music.
Ease of Use
Very much user friendly.
Quality
Hard to say about the quality as I have only been using my pair of A8 in the last week. But pretty robust looking as it is also heavy, which is a good indication of having solid buid and quality.
Value
With all its features, I would challenge everyone to match the quality of these for it's price. I have been looking for a high end amp and nothing would beat these from the sound/price point ratio.
Manufacturer Support
Havn't triend the support yet.
The Wow Factor
I want to have the best sounding possible studio monitors and I have been looking for months comparing them. Nothing beat these monitors on the
