M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe

$600.00 Released October, 2008

The Pros:Represents the full sound spectrum all by themselves fairly well. Fairly compact design ideal for a studio environment. Setup is very simple, not a lot to it.

The Cons:Don't reach lower than 40Hz, will need a separate subwoofer to complete the set. Drivers are exposed, need to be careful nothing damages them. A bit heavy to move into place, can't be carried casually.

The M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe speaker pair is a high-end desktop set designed with pure audiophiles in mind. The set includes two high-fidelity 130-watt two way studio reference monitors. Each BX8a speaker unit includes an 8" low frequency driver equipped with Kevlar cones, high-temperature voice coils, and damped rubber surround; and a 1-¼" high frequency driver equipped with natural silk domes and integrated waveguides.
