The monitor speakers are fully analog passive speakers featuring a 6.5 inch woofer and a horn loaded tweeter. Good clarity across its bandwidth and produces real bass at moderate listening levels. Combined with the Jean Michel LeCleach's horn at a 1.1kHz crossover point provides exceptional clarity. Soundstage depth is excellent as well as overall smoothness and dynamics. The limit on sound quality will be set by the associated electronics, as distortion is well into the territory often reserved for electronics.
