M-AudioBX5 - 5" Studio Monitor Speaker for Music Production & Mixing with Acoustic Space Control, 100W 2 Way Active Speaker, Single

Sound amazing and very loud brilliant solid quality highly recommend I bought 2...

An amazing sounding accurate sound scape, with a wide range and suitable low frequency reach for general referencing as a bedroom studio.They have a very nice smooth aesthetic, but also discreet enough to blend into my setup. The tweeters being pushed back in slightly is a welcome change to its previous model, for protection.Having to replace an aged set of BX5 D2, in comparison these have a slight edge of clarity to them, and a small power boost to boot, however this comes with the unfortunate increase in its noise floor.I use them as near field, however would be better suited as mid field, which would counter the noticeable noise floor when powered on and idle.

Bought theses from recomendations, the sound quaility is amazing, so clear and crisp.Build quaility is very good, amazing weight to them, not too heavy but a good weight for their price.

Very good sound quality pleased with these

Great just what I wanted. The sound is supposed to be poor as they are for monitoring sound and not good for music listening for relaxing as they are harsh so the accentuate the region around 1KHz-5KHz so you can hear most of the information which is projected forward in the listening area.Fairly poor off axis sound but as near feild monitors that is what you would expect as you are supposed to sit next to the speakers.There is an LED to set up the listening position.The LED needs to be shining brightest on your ears.The Low frequency driver is fine and a roll off filter helps if you can only place the speakers against a wall.The rear firing port really performs best away from a wall.The idea of this type of speaker is not fidelity but to allow you to hear your mix.If you want to listen to already recorded and mixed music these are not for you.If you want to mix sounds using a computer then these you might like.If they produce 100 Watts at the speakers I would say the speakers are very inefficient as compared to my main monitors they are quiet but saying that when using this type of speaker you sit very close to them and they are plenty loud enough , just don't expect to do a Stadium Gig with them.I am happy with them.

Straightforward to install. Good solid weight to them. I have played a large number of different songs through them and they have not disappointed. Through the acoustic adjustments, you can make the sound sharp or warm easily. Running them through a Behringer mixer and easily the best setup for DJing or home / Gaming applications. 10 out of 10. Good value and not too intrusive in size.

I've had a few of these over the years. (They typically die in 5-7 years.) The sound is great, however, there is a line buzz that persists that's never been fixed. People have been complaining about it for years. It's inaudible when something is playing through but you can definitely hear it when you turn it on. This line buzz is not present in a lot of other speakers in the same size, wattage, or price range (like the Presonus - albeit which has an even shorter lifespan).

With 100w of power I was expecting some serious volume (yes I know it’s not directly correlated). It’s decent, but my synth “sounds” better through the headphones. Richer, nicer sound.
