Feature:
Light, loud, lots of connectors.

Quality:
Except for the (to my ears and setup) coloration in the mid-bass, I think it’s a good quality powered monitor. I am keeping them.

Value:
Can’t beat the price to quality ratio.

Sound:
I used cool edit to generate a frequency sweep. Somewhere within 150-400 hz the audio peaked noticeably then almost dissapeared. Not very scientific, but to my ears, in an open setup with no reflections, there is a coloration around that band–mid bass has a huge peak and high bass has a trough. Low bass is good. Highs are crisp and seem flat with the midrange.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play went so fast I didn’t even see the hour glass.

Support:
n/a

User Reviews:
Feature:
A small amount of adjustments on the back. Not many variations, but good enough for me, they sound best flat anyway.

Quality:
I’ve used Alesis products for a while and have never had any issues.

Value:
You can’t beat the price performance when compared to other powered monitors.

Sound:
I upgraded from unpowered Alesis Monitor One MKIIs. The sounds characteristics are remarkably similar. I’d have to say that the highs are smoother though, much less ear fatique. The bass also seems more controlled and less muddy. The imaging is very good with low distortion at all noise levels I’ve tried. I have a small project studio so they get loud enough for me. The bass is ok but there is only so much a 6 1/4 woofer can do. The frequencies do roll off fairly smoothly when they do get too low. One complaint, if you stick your head near the tweeters when the power is on but with gain all the way down, you can hear a faint hiss. I don’t know if all powered monitors do this, but it’s fairly annoying considering I have a very quiet room.

Ease of Use:
If you understand what powered monitors are, this is easy.

Support:
Never dealt with them

Overall:
I’m still within the return period and may look around at other monitors to see if they have that hiss at no volume problem. Not many fall within this price range. I may look at KRK.
