Just recommended my mate to buy these actually - read very good things about them and noticed a review here which made me consider buying them myself at one point:
Having just got a chance to listen to them yesterday I have to say that they sound fantastic! Very clear sound, uncoloured and without an overwhelming low end. I settled for Mackie MR5 MK2 active monitors a long time back and they are the tits! Skinned me £270 but they consistently give high quality output and I’d advise them to anyone over the similar priced KRK Rokit 5s - I found them a bit grungy and susceptible to distortion. But if you want the industry standard then go for them; it’s all down to what you think you need I suppose.
