APS Klasik 2020

soundonsound.com

The APS Klasik 2020 delivers standout performance at an entry-level price, boasting exceptional clarity, tuneful bass, and impressive stereo imaging. Its analog design and robust construction contribute to a natural listening experience that rivals pricier monitors. However, its conservative aesthetic may not appeal to those seeking modern flair. While some may find minor nuances in off-axis response, the overall sound quality makes it a compelling choice for serious audio work. This monitor proves that affordability doesn't compromise quality, making it a must-listen for budget-conscious musicians.

SUPERB Monitors

Great reference monitors. These babies give you a great representation the audio sepctrum at a great price too. For some reason i also seem to be able to hear the stereo field better on these! Built very well. A step up from yamaha's HS series of monitors

HS7s are the quintessential budget speaking IMHO. Relaible, flat and great.
