Pros & Cons
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.
