You know, M-Audio is one of those companies in a really weird share of the market (In My Opinion).
They aren't quite high-end, but they aren't quite junk / low end either. They do a lot of products, and do a lot of products well. I don't think I've ever been blown away by M-Audio, but the bang for the buck always keeps them on my radar. At the same time, I don't think I've ever been severely disappointed in them either.
I guess if there is a true Mid-Fi Segment, then I would probably consider M-Audio to be the king of the Mid-Fi hill.
Now, these monitors in particular: Kind of rare to see a 3-way studio monitor. Then, even odder to have it coax.
