like living room speakers but louder
My first pair of monitors .. Like comfortable slippers . I like them because they remind me of all the stereos and Hifi 's I cobbled together in my teens and early 20's ... Kraftwerk sound like they did to me way back then ha ha . So maybe not high end but very very nice to listen to :)
My 6 year old rockets developed a crackling on initial power up ... This would stop after about 30 Mts ... Hardly ideal ... However I found the most useful and easy fix .. Step by step and even I could do it ...
and !! relatively inexpensive

Avg price: $346.04
Why I like and hate these simultaneously
My ears are well shot what with working on construction sites and factories for most of my life .... These seem to give me a brutal , honest and clear glass mirror image / interpretation of what ever I am working on at the time
Preferred Settings + Usage:
In use with the bass cut ... I have the HS 8s to let me know what's going on down below ... Clean clear and much flatter than the rockets I used for years .
