Frequently Asked Questions
While they're revealing, the limited low-end extension means a subwoofer is highly recommended for those genres to avoid a thin sound.
You’ll want at least 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms to get them moving properly, and more is always better for headroom.
They offer a unique, less hyped sound than many competitors, emphasizing accuracy over a 'fun' listening experience - a definite pro for critical mixing.
