On the first listening they are very impressive for the price (380e) ! Tight and rich low bass, transparent Mids and clear Hi frequency range. And they are very loud, I mean VERY LOUD ( 130W bi- amped units) ! I like " sweet spot" option - LEDs, which lights up clearest when the monitors are mounted exactly as it should in comparison to sound-engineer ( me ?!) ! I had Dynaudio BM5, which are double expensive, but I can say that these little monsters are dangerously close to much bigger names . I can imagine how it will gonna sounds when I treat the room properly... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

How it the bass response in 8 inch ones? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Bogdan, BX5 was here the night before my decision. Those monitors are great, clarity in the whole range, but lacking of bass, normally that you can't expect from 5" woofer,especially if you have a bigger room, as in my case. So I had a two options > BX5 + sub, or BX8... Yeah, I tested Behringer Truth 2030A also these days - but bass response is too muddy for my taste..

On the other hand the smaller bx5 versions sounded so different to me, my ears were used to adam and genelec monitors at the time and noticed it had an interesting charater to it that was hard for me to adapt immediately. Don't know though if this applies for the newer versions. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
