M-Audio Studiophile EX66

$700.00 Released March, 2008

The Pros:Clarity and natural sound are audiophile-quality. Bass extends very low, excellent representation of the low frequency range. Presentation is very good, each sound source comes across as a separate entity.

The Cons:Bass range is occasionally slightly muddy if turned up too high.

The M-Audio Studiophile EX66 speaker is a high-end desktop unit designed with the purest sound audiophiles in mind. The set includes one MTM configured and bi-amplified 200 watt PWM (power per channel) studio monitor.
