A gem of a monitor (and FOH speaker as well). I've used countless number of monitors in my career as an engineer, and I would place this among near the top, especially when you consider price. No it's not a d&B M4, but it's also no where near the price. Where it shines: phase response, and frequency response. This is a monitor that covers up NOTHING, so you will hear everything. The coaxial speaker is also very forgiving of feedback and just sounds very professional. Its definitely a step above the MI market filled with QSC, EV, JBL etc. It is also very well constructed with no plastic - and looks GREAT on stage. I own 6 and thus far very happy with them. One warning: The FBT covers for these do NOT cover the entire speaker. In fact, these leave one side (the bottom) completely exposed. While this may not be a problem if you plan to always use them as monitors where scuffs won't be seen, but when you also use them as FOH speakers, the bottom becomes the side, you want all sides to be equally protected so there are no visible scuffs or dings over time. I returned the covers to FBT and have custom made ones on the way. BUY the speakers, pass on the covers.
