TLDR: I really questioned spending this kind of money for computer speakers but I honestly couldn't be happier.Moving into an apartment and doing a lot of telework late this year really changed my audiophile habits. I went from no concern for the amount of bass and the level of the volume knob to having to really think about how things sound at lower volumes and how much sound is being put out.I looked at a number of 2 channel computer speakers and finally decided on these. I am so glad I did, they have a great compact footprint, excellent nearfield performance, great input options, and just have so much detail. These are reference speakers so they have tight controlled bass but not boomy bass. They are composed, clear, and really enjoyable to listen to.Ignore the 1 review complaining about a defective unit they haven't made any effort to resolve or isolate. These are excellent speakers that sound great and provide a truly enjoyable listening experience in a variety of listening situations.
