The monitors arrived in an enormous, very heavy box (usually a good sign with speakers). In the box was the power cables, speakers and a thin set of isolating foam pads for the base of each speaker, if you want to use them. No XLR cables were included.

When making dance music, a problem I often encounter is that poorer quality speakers can struggle with bass and become very distorted. These have very accurate sound, and I have had them close to full volume and didn't have any trouble with distortion at all. I work in a small room and liked the feature to reduce the bass for small work environments (a switch on the back of the speaker).

Good entry-level monitors. Хорошие монитор&#
Vasiliy Poptsov (MERTI) 20.06.2022
I purchased M-Audio BX8 D3 monitors because of their low cost and good appearance for working in a home studio. The store's service was very pleased, the consultants are responsive and pleasant to communicate with. Monitors sound decent for their price category, in a poorly prepared acoustic room, higher-level monitors are an extra waste of money. After a couple of months of using the monitors, I faced the problem of a crackling in one of the low-frequency speakers, the reason was in the not fully inserted terminal inside the monitor, it was not difficult to fix, but an unpleasant residue remained. In general, I liked the monitors, they sound pretty clean without large spectral distortions.
Приобрел мониторы M-Audio BX8 D3 из за их невысокой стоимости и хорошего внешнего вида для работы в домашней студии. Сервис магазина очень порадовал, консультанты отзывчивые и приятные в общении. Мониторы звучат достойно для своей ценовой категории, в плохо подготовленную акустическую комнату мониторы более высокого уровня это лишняя трата денег. Через пару месяцев использования мониторов столкнулся с проблемой треска в одном из низкочастотных динамиков, причиной оказалась в не до конца вставленном клемнике внутри монитора исправить было не сложно но неприятный осадок остался. В целом мониторы понравились звучат довольно чисто без больших спектральных перекосов.

Good value for the money, but...

Solidly built. There are compromises however to achieve this price point. Firstly, there is a noticeable mains hum. It's not bad enough to make them unusable but its a lot more noticeable than, say, the Dynaudio BM15 actives I use in the studio.

Secondly, the input is very sensitive (probably about -10dB) and not calibrated to any particular standard, which is inconvenient when connecting them to pro equipment.

Thirdly, the level knob on the rear is vague. It took a lot of fiddling with them to get a mono signal into the centre.

Sound-wise, time will tell - once they're run in a bit I'll have a better idea but my initial impression is good.

(Also, the UK mains leads Thomann shipped with them were very short - barely reaching past the bottom of the stands!)

Great speakers.
Igorro 04.12.2019
Combine M-Audios with IK ARC room correction system to get very precise studio monitors. In untreated studio room, mixing for panorama and depth using room simulations becomes very easy. Also mixing bass guitar with kick drum combining 40-60 Hz with 80-120 Hz is a piece of cake. Presence region for vocals, guitars and snare is also very clean.
Without IRC system in an untreated room these guys are quite bassy, so the bundle is a way to go.
Really good choice for the buck.
