Advantages: Exciting and involving, deep bass, delivers the slams

Disadvantages: None really at this price

These speakers proudly continue the reputation that Monitor Audio has built up. There is still something of a debate amongst people when it comes to floorstanders or bookshelf speakers but floorstanders provide more more scale and depth than bookshelves so for me there is no contest. These floorstanders offer a front ported delivery so are not too choosy when it comes to positioning and will therefore cope admirably near a wall without having to worry about booming bass.

These speakers do many things very well, their midrange is quite open and detailed, they deliver bass and depth with aplomb and really exhibit what a bargain they are. The treble is nice and neutral and transients in the music are delivered with real verve and excitement. It is the ability yo capture excitement which makes these speakers ideal for many genres in particular, dance rap and heavy rock music but in truth are true all rounders.

Definitely recommended.

Summary: If you are looking for budget floorstanders these are great
