How do you react? You listen to them and try not be disappointed... then.. out of the blue you discover new soundscapes. I know the CEO personally from Musikmesse Frankfurt where he regularly visits. The monitors are made and crafted in India. I have no shares with them nor do they pay me or torture me for this review.Before starting my review and go into details let me say this: you will never get as much bang for the buck as with the PM50s. The performance (price/value/sound) ratio is enormous or to describe in some candidate words "It's always good to be underestimated". I estimated a lot and they deliver.we listened to a lot of music, me and 2 friends in the last weeks and we all mixed independently on them. I also got a pair of their bigger brothers the PM100 (which are approx 30% bigger). I discovered the following:a lot of 2D-Information, very tight bottom end, enough information on the highend, very accurate reproduction of transients. You know where the signal sits (focusing on electric guitars in the latest Meshuggah-mix: you can identify where and at which depth they sit because you get most of the transient information). It is not always pleasant to hear that info depending on the mix but you get what you need to know (the truth). My mixes translated perfectly (I have to admit that I had to check on my PSI for the very-lowend and very-highend sweetness because the Sonodynes are just too small to replicate the whole spectrum.Long story short:I love the quality of the product for the price you pay, they never let me down, you have to find your Sonodyne product for your own taste but you will never find a better product for the price. The money other brands spend on marketing is invested in the product with Sonodyne.
