They sound good with solid midrange punch and great clarity. They look good, are of solid construction and feel robust. The only negative I could point at them is with the feet. They are a bit flimsy and fall off easily. If they will be cared for, then not a problem, they will probably last for years. I have them in a live music venue where punk, rock and ska bands love to kick and stand on them. If they last a month I will be impressed. They sound better than our old EV SX300s, are not as robust, but with the price difference, I am very happy. Very good value
