Any opinions? Anybody using them?

I am quite enamored with them.

As a longtime NS10 user, they sound real comfy to me. It's like coming home, with the LF & HF range you've always wanted but never had with the 10's.

I'm running mine flat, but they have pretty flexible frequency adjustments if desired. There's even a midrange control, which many other monitors do not have. The HF adjustment is a shelf at 2k, which I think is way more useful than the usual 10k-ish shelf you'll see on many other monitors.

Worth a listen.

I have a pair and they are a good bang for the buck. I wanted a pair of active monitors and some which would give me the low end missing in the NS10s. I drop mine a couple of dB on the room control because I have them right up against the wall.

Yeah. I'm looking for something in a "modern" bi-amped design. My other monitors are all kind of old school. They do seem to be a good value.
