I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

I took these instead of the JBL P305 MKII - those are loud, they say that they do not require a subwoofer, there is a correction of the bottoms and tops, but in fact TWO monitors (they are sold one at a time, and the amplifiers are configured differently) were not aligned in phase and frequency - with listening was constantly uncomfortable. The biggest jamb of the P305 MKII - they mumble very strongly on the middle bottoms, regardless of the racks, the location in the apartment - the neighbors knock, call, curse - you can’t hear the music, but all this Bu-Boo-Boo puts the whole house on the ears. And they, of course, fill the room with this bubbling.
I concluded for myself: I do not regret that I changed the P305 MKII to these simpler and cheaper Murzilka. I'll add a small subwoofer to them, and it will be a hundred thousand times better.

Pros

Excellent detail (intelligibility), this is not a warm tube buzzing for you. Excellent phase matching of the speakers - hence the very clearly spaced scene. Although it looks like one, there are two of them, and therefore excellent positioning of the instruments and the scene as a whole is achieved in such a small volume of speakers. Of course, Genelec 8020ap will be cooler in similar dimensions, but it costs six times more for two pieces.

Cons

Of course, there is no real balanced input through TRS, only the difference in gain levels at different inputs. Extremely poor documentation, although the manufacturer claims prof. sound level.)

I bought speakers for a Sony vinyl player. I did not need a very loud sound, so it was quite arranged.

With its pros. With balanced cables, the sound is the purest, it is pleasant to work with sound, all the details are audible. Has some cons The lack of frequencies below 60 Hz causes discomfort, you have to work with the bottoms in detail already in the headphones, or buy a subwoofer for them.
