Compact Monitor System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)these "monitors" are pretty good, i read some not so good reviews about them , however they turned out to be pretty decent. For the amazingly low price compared to other monitors these ones do the job pretty well. Now, im no expert at sound engineering yet i noticed that the monitors provide a fairly accurate depiction of what a real mix would sound like. I reccommend these to any "garage bands" and solo artists who need to produce a demo/EP. Again its not top top top quality, thats why i gave it a 4, also i have had these for a short time now so i dont particulary know the durabilty /longevity of the product. Good buy, solid item, tascam never lets you down.

Alesis M1 Active 520 Powered Studio Monitor Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me preface by acknowledging that Speaker Reviews are Subjective, period. I don't consider myself an Audiophile but I do play a variety of instruments.
I received these speakers as a x-mas gift and have been loving it (and blown away by them) every time I listen to them.
The imaging/soundstage of these speakers are amazing. Very 3 dimensional.
While these are considered 'entry-level' Studio Monitors, there's no comparing any (high-end or otherwise) desktop speakers. I'm able to discern a lot more details that I couldn't with my prior desktop speakers (logitech z2300). However, if you're into heavy Bass, this probably will not work for you (unless you add a sub).
They're also built like tanks, and weighs as much. Size is definitely bigger than a typical computer speaker, which wasn't an issue for me. The build/construction speaks of quality all around.
The speakers are very directional, so spacing between your seating position and the speakers matters.
The only thing I would caution is, if you have kids, the open (no grills) design are finger magnets.
I'm using these as computer speakers, and had to order a separate cable for them:
This is the one I ordered -
HOSA CMP159 Stereo Mini Male to Phone Y-Cable
another alternative -
HOSA STEREO 3.5mm (M) - TWO XLR(M)
