Gentlemen, these things still overwhelm me after months! The decision was between Rookits and this here. At first I doubted because the Samson's not even cost half, but then she ordered. I hear about it, especially music and cut my YouTube videos and smaller professional video productions and can not complain really. Compared to Rookits these monitors have no discernible noise, which turns out in practice very pleasant. For volume, I can say that the sound is very good not only at normal volume. At cozy evenings I use the monitors even for room sound of my loft, which also works great, even though the speakers are not designed to do so. If you want to only create a wider space, should take up a solution of larger membranes and more power.
