Edirol MA-10D Review - IGN

ign.com

Edirol's MA-10D monitors surprise with their extensive connectivity options and a soundstage that belies their size, making them a strong choice for multimedia use. While they require a significant break-in period and lack deep bass, the detailed mids and highs shine through, offering a satisfying listening experience for casual use. However, the bass can be problematic, presenting a "woofing" quality that might not sit well with all listeners. If you’re in the market for versatile speakers with impressive features at a budget-friendly price, the MA-10Ds are worth a listen—but serious bass enthusiasts may want to look elsewhere.

Solid performance, great tone

Been using these for well over 10 years now for everything from my turntable to my Korg main studio board. Great value for the money for a home setup
