Good sound on a budget [Posted on 2008-09-07]
I looked at many options for covering a 40Hz to 20KHz range in a home studio. That's the frequency response of the PA equipment I'm producing MIDIs for. All things considered, the Studiophile BX8a met those needs at the best price. There's no subwoofer to buy. This one box is it.

The frequency response is very smooth but not reaching as low as I'd like. Bass clarity is moderately good, perhaps hampered by the ports facing my wall. The rest of the frequency response has excellent clarity. I can now hear mixing and EQ problems that I was missing before. It helps get the production right the first time.

I have only a few gripes. The power and gain controls are in back where they're difficult to reach on such a deep speaker. There's no protective cover for these very fragile, close-range speakers. Both speakers have some background buzz regardless of gain and input.
