In Reply to: HELP! Best front ported 2-way mini-monitor under $1K posted by oldglide on November 17, 2007 at 06:18:10:
Highly regarded, front ported, with surprising bass from such a small cabinet. They do require nearly 150 hours to break in so don't let a new pair scare you to death. Their sound and fit and finish make them true bargains.520's will easily fit on a bookshelf and make a believer out of you: big sound can come from a small driver. Some internet wag said "85% of the sound of a Proac at 1/5 the price". (They are about the same size and Usher also uses a clear cone.)
If you live near a dealer make the trip.
