Studio Electric m4

Ok I take it back, the new grill is actually very nice looking too. It looks much better in your real world pictures than the marketing shots on their website.

The old models had those wood side panels and a unique wood grill that probably didn't protect very well but had a sort of art deco look to it. Still love those looks but your set looks better than I thought it would. Never noticed the little accent stripes on top, those are a nice touch. Just enough to keep it interesting in a sea of generic speaker designs.

These are on sale this weekend.  Great speaker for the money.  

Thanks V-fi. They are such a great speaker. I’m glad I went with them.

A must visit booth if at Axpona this year. They have a good ear for how a speaker should sound.  

@oddiofyl Very nice. I still regret not buying the last set of Benchmark SMS1 monitors that I saw posted here not long ago. Those were made by Studio Electric and seem very similar to the M4 if not identical, with low prices because they never really got popular for whatever reason. 

I do wish Studio Electric still used the old wood accents on their version, but it's probably expensive. 

Thanks.   I can't believe how good they are.    This is THE speaker I've been looking for.   

Agree, the M4 is a great speaker, congrats on the new purchase. 

The M4 are really special.    I fell in love with them after just a few hours of listening.    Exactly what I was looking for in a compact speaker.   

Build quality is excellent.  Amazing quality and quantity of bass.   Extremely well balanced.  Sound big and scale well for a tiny speaker.   Just a great speaker.  

I ended up buying the M4.   Should have them in a week or so.   Could not find one negative word about them.   Dan Wright personally owns a pair and often demos his gear at shows with Studio Electric.  
 

Why not just set a pair of Fostex super tweeter on top of your SAMs? Madisound has them pretty cheap.

I agree with your thinking of trying something else.  I had 3 different Omega models in use at different times over a 20 year period and it was the CAMs that I was the least satisfied with.  Good with acoustic music, but just meh to these ears with anything else.

Unfortunately, I don't know from the Studio Electrics, so I can't help you there.  

In the same price range, I might look at the PSA monitors or the Legacy Studios.  Good stuff out there about these from Chesky Audio.
