My first pair of studio monitors. Got these to replace my Vox practice amp. Had to get TRS to TRS Cables from a local store to hook them up as they came only with the power cable. So far they're alright as I don't have any experience with studio monitors. Tip Ring Sleeve The back
One tip is to get them in the same height as your ears. The quality of the monitors preformance will shine through when they are in line with your ears. Getting monitor stands is a cool solution to this!
^ also make sure that they are angled in such a way that the two monitors+your head make an equilateral triangle
I've bought the same monitors about two weeks ago and I'm also very satisfied! For small room, for the money they are awesome. I can hear a lot of new things I favourite songs! And, yes, sound is better when they are on the same height as your head.
