Monsoon MM-1000 Flat Panel Speakers

Conclusion

The Monsoon's are leaps and bounds above the Benwin's in all categories - sound quality, frequency response, and good old fashioned raw power. Then again, at $229.99, the price is also leaps and bounds above the Benwin's $89.99 retail price. That price isn't exactly cheap, but you get an excellent set of speakers and, of course, the head turning flat panel technology in the package.

Once again, it must be noted the extreme directionality of these speakers that not everyone will like. It's perfect for a single user sitting in front of them, but not so hot for providing tunes to a room full of people.

Now we know exactly why you guys wanted us to check these out so much ;) Monsoon definitely did not disappoint and has provided one of the best multimedia speaker sets to pass through the AnandTech labs.
