OMG! Just got the Akai's (RPM800) and I am flabbergasted. These are truly the best looking and best built studio monitors I've ever seen. Just now plugged them in and they also sound fantastic (after rolling off a little HF). The mids are very good, not fabulous but very good. Bass is tight with no signs of boominess. They are dead quiet and came beautifully packaged. I cannot believe I got these things for 99.95/ea. They truly look and feel better than my 1100.00 monitors. I am truly happy. Now to figure out what to do with them smile.
