The sound is wonderfully balanced and linear, also the bass are more than sufficient scope and dynamics ago (thanks to strong amplifier for the subwoofer). If you want more bass, the devices provide close to the wall (in which case is of course lost the monitor characteristics in the bass).
You are more than adequate for everyday sound of a semi open living room 30 m2 (Party volume but not tried!). The sound is optimized for Nahfeldmonitoring, but that does not mean, conversely, that it must be bad outside it - that he is by no means. On the Internet there are also measurements of radiation characteristics.
I'll soon have to buy myself a pair for the bedroom, because they are relatively unrivaled at this price. In particular, in connection with an Airport Express can be cost-effectively create an awesome sounding home audio solution that synchronously in several rooms, the same music is playing (and an iPhone / iPod touch incl. Cover view can be controlled remotely). Up to a PC / Mac with iTunes no additional hardware is necessary because amplifiers are already built into the boxes. Even the "clutter" is then limited to a power cord to the speakers, the Airport Express, you can hide behind the boxes.
Last: Who rather on "Party Mucke" stands and all devices always turning up the bass, no monitor speakers should generally consider but rather a trial to hear the typical "fun boxes" on the market.
