A pleasant looking and sounding monitor with a lot of power

So, I picked up a pair of these on the Bazaar clearance before Christmas this last year, and I am quite impressed. The dimensions listed might prepare you for something large, but it's quite another thing to see it. These cabinets are quite big. If you don't have ample space, forget it. I bought a pair of floor stands for these to sit behind my desk. Their sound is quite good. The highs are very crisp and accurate, and the mids are detailed. The low driver leaves something to be desired in impact, but you won't be missing out on any tones here. The M3-8s don't try to reproduce frequencies they can't, leading to tight, accurate bass. I highly recommend a subwoofer with these. Other users have noted a hiss coming from these amps, and I do have to mention, if they're not attached to clean power, they will hiss. I have a power conditioner attached to mine, and unless you have them at unreasonably high gain, or put your ear right to the high driver, the hiss is eliminated. Speaking of gain, these get louder than most people could reasonably want them to. I keep them on -12db gain when attached to my setup (Schiit Modi2u), and I fear for my hearing if I'm in the same room when they're above 50% volume. Physically, these speakers are built very well, and the finish is quite nice. They would look great in a living room, if you're okay with them not having grilles. The plate amp is solid, and all the toggles and dials feel well constructed. The only gripe I have with these lies in the mid to low crossover at 4.9KHz. There is a dip that is slightly larger than I would like to hear at that point, but it can be compensated for. I found that dip to be about -3 to -5 db relative. Feel free to message me for more information.
