Among the dozens of active monitoring speakers, if you are looking for respect of timbres (I am a professional classical and jazz pianist), neutrality (without dips or peaks in the frequency curves), these are speakers to try before making another choice. Very good power reserve. It's heavy! but everything is finesse. I also use them for small room sound reinforcement with a Yamaha MM8 keyboard: it's impressive. They are not so expensive compared to their performance. Aesthetics is not my concern.
