Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The new plastic mounts seem cheesy, but i read they work. The new ones are small enough to sit on a bookcase without taking up a lot of space. They can be placed under monitors horizontally if you have a dual monitor setup.

Front loaded bass ports are so powerful that i feel a pleasant breeze from the bass ports! Also use a tube preamp fosi p1 to provide warmth and aiyima a07 power amp to drive it with plenty of power.



Cons

Not really a control 1 pro. Sound is mediocre at best. At least the uk site shows the 4 inch woofer belonging to a jbl model control 1 (not pro) kind of like getting a 18 inch pizza with topping only on the inner 12 inches, haha.

    Whatever you do dont buy powered speakers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Powered speakers are an unbelievable waste of money and they hum


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    All powered speakers even expensive ones from name brands are utter rubbish

    Thus i move these around an inch or so relative to the exact place i sit in the chair and it drastically changes the sound
