These studio monitors are incredible. In terms of price these are considered slightly above entry level, but they most definitely give more expensive studio monitors a run for their money. I was previously using the Presonus Eris 8’s, and while they were definitely providing a more than reliable monitoring source for mixing, these monitors are no doubt a significant step up in almost all aspects. The low end is impressively tight and punchy, the highs are textured without being harsh. But what impresses me most is the balance between a detailed sound, and a wide stereo image/soundstage. Usually if a studio monitor/headphone has good stereo imaging and soundstaging, it’s at the sacrifice of detail. But this most definitely a significant balance of both elements.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
