A good product, I advise you to try it.

You need to know your own reasons for investing in a set of monitors. Buying a column from the same ZhBL and spending the same amount of money on a big low-frequency pancake to beat in the sternum makes setting up a disk player on the same 20 squares much easier. Since these low tones drown out the midrange tones, no monitor will exhibit low-frequency pancake. The mid-range is when the music becomes smooth and easy to dance to.
In particular, how would you liken it to:
The JBL 305 MkII trumps these 104s in sound quality and hands down in every other category as well. In most cases, I would suggest purchasing it as a gift for someone at a price of $8 to $10 per item. Considering how little the difference in cost is, I almost made the purchase. Unfortunately, it only has "balanced" inputs, an external power source, and independent volume controls for each speaker, so it's not quite what I was hoping for. These screens were manufactured with a separate control device or audio system in mind. And for me, there are additional considerations. They look to be at least five years old, though.
This is a 4.5 on the Presonus Eris scale. After doing extensive research on YouTube, I had intended to buy an Eris 3.5; however, the retailer was out of stock, so I asked for a larger "adult" size of 4.5. In addition, I'd want to express my appreciation to the kind and helpful staff of Dr. Head on Novy Arbat. I was shown, linked, and listened to all the things I asked for. My hearing tell me that the Eris 4.5 excels in the midrange and creates a much more spacious soundstage, while the JBL excels in the natural highs (cymbal chimes). They have excellent live shows that I look forward to regularly. I found the bottoms of the 104s to be more comfortable, odd as that may sound. As this data was presented, enthusiasm for Eris 3.5 quickly faded. Even while the sound quality difference between the 4.5 and the 104 is not anywhere near twice as substantial and is not always in favor of the PreSonuses, the 4.5 with bluetooth costs twice as much, somewhere in the area of $22 to $25. For $25, I could get a pair of JBL 305 MkII headphones and two adapters that made them bluetooth-compatible.
I'm sorry for the deluge of mail.

Pros

Please read the following suggestions while keeping the budget in mind. In comparison to the tens of thousands of dollars spent on monitor boxes by professional recording studios, the $10,000-$12,000 price tag for a pair of monitors seems like a steal. Indeed, even at the age of 20. 1. Particulars; D. In fact, monitors were designed for the specific purpose of sitting down and "listening" to a track in order to pick up on the myriad nuances and subtleties present in the music. These kids had a rather respectable combined score of four points. Want to know why Dire Straits' "You and Your Friends" is a masterwork of sound recording and has dozens of tracks, but Morgenstern's "Cadillac" is a sloppy primitive with only five? The displays here are more than up to the task of showing the distinctions between the two. 2. It was found that they can keep their balance "TV"), in which case they also "draw" the scene and "toss" it to various "places" ", so long as they are kept at a distance of a couple of meters (I put them on wall brackets on the sides of a 65-gallon barrel). Third, a collection of relatively dependable interfaces includes bluetooth 5.0 and standard RCA, TRS, and 3.5mm minijack 4. Oddly enough, design. In general, I went to the shop (salon) to look for other Monicas. These do not appear to be very sturdy from the photograph, such as computer tweeters that cost three thousand dollars, but the experience of living is wonderful. Plastic you say? Consider the volume of the same "plastic" product sold by Bose and Genelec. It doesn't take much effort on my part to pick out the various bass guitar sounds that are present in a mix, as the monitor has quite good lows and outstanding highs. hold at sixty hertz declared. No need to set up a disco here; the volume is fine for a room that's 20 square feet. The most expensive option is the B&W DM 602 flooring, so there is something to compare it to. 7. For that price (I will say it again), they could very well claim to be a "pass to the world of hi-fi completely. I had multiple pairs of decent speakers, at least.

Cons

The reason for docking a star is (1). Hey, JBL, I know that this is a tight budget, but the JBL Professional label should insist that the equipment at least come with functional wiring. The driven column makes no noise once it has been unboxed and installed. As my job involves a part of the ACS's automated process control system, I have no trouble finding and crimping a standard length of wire. Just plug in a standard audio cord and it will play. The power wire does not stay put in the connector and constantly tries to unplug itself and fly away from the speaker. Well, I mended it with some tape. Second, the mids are gritty and devoid of detail. But when you include in the price, it becomes a matter of picking apart details. 3 A sound that is very focused; if you move even a little "beyond the axis," the tone completely shifts. Similarly, they should be set up such that their ear level is parallel to the floor. Again, this is more of a design choice than a flaw, and it is true of nearly all coaxial speakers (speakers in which the tweeters and woofers are situated on the same axis) regardless of price or quality.
