Yeah Blackwax!

I heard them in the guitar center when they first came out.
They sound clean exspecially if you get the subwoofer.
Very nice sound for the buck.

[blackwax]

just ordered them!!

[older&wiser]

good for tracking and final playback, i personally would'nt use them for mixdown.
bottom line, speakers are instruments and you have to learn how to use them.
critical monitoring takes time and close study...

[blackwax]

indeed it does but this is a good starting point as i am using regular cheap speakers at present and they are just not ctting it for any stage of the process.
mixing and mastering is done in a studio still for now

[blackwax]

[DJ Keith Porter]

So, How are the M-Audio's working out for you?

[blackwax]

They are pretty solid seem to have a good range and very clear at low level
Only time will tell for sure but at present I am very happy
