Garson on M-Audio’s EX66 reference monitors: “Since Ive gotten the EX66 reference monitors, my musical output has more than doubled—this has to do with the great sounds I’ve been getting through the speakers. The statistics show that Ive doubled my output of composing—the sound helps inspire that, because when the sound is right I feel more inspired to compose. I removed my NS10 nearfield monitors, and I put the EX66’s right on my piano—they sound great and I’m really happy with them. I’m writing more, the sound is inspiring me and they are very powerful.

“Ive been a happy camper with the EX66’s—I love to blast them loud with a SBX subwoofer also. I have to inspire myself, and the sound is what does it for me. They sound as good as speakers that cost two or three thousand dollars. Theyre more exciting than my NS10’s, and are more emotional for me. I kept the NS10s on my piano for 23 years—now I’ve retired them and I’m using the EX66’s. They have a very accurate frequency response—when I heard them for the first time, I knew I wanted them.”
