I own a pair of Studio HD for about 2 years now. Purchased used for about $1k—in perfect shape.

Use them near-field small room listening only. They sit on weighted 24” stands. I drive them with a 60 watt tube amp or a 400 watt D-sonic SS amp depending on my mood.

Build quality is 1st rate, really unbelievable for the money, beautiful wood finish (walnut in my case). Top notch hardware as well.

They replaced a pair of Paradigm S2 v3 monitors, which were high quality but I never warmed to them for music.

The legscy’s are smoother and sound more integrated (coherent?) compared to the Paradigms, which I always found a little brittle and too bright. Re: Legacy’s AMT tweeter is so much more mellow without giving up any of the fine detail that I prefer.

Rear ported so maybe not the best choice on my part for a small room but I don’t listen to overly loud music, usually aucustic jazz/female vocal/classical piano mostly, so don’t ask a lot of bass from the HD. I suspect they can play very loud if you wanted them to.

Hope that helps
Thank jel.....  all the reviews say they are great.  Just wanted some feedback from real users.   Ill be using them with a pair of 50 watt tube amps.
