Description
TASCAM's VL-X5 Details TASCAM's VL-X5 bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor is the perfect choice for recording studios, home and project studios, and any other application needing accurate audio playback in a small package.
The VL-X5's extraordinary sound quality can be attributed to its components and how they work together. A custom designed 1-inch silk high frequency driver and a 5.25-inch low frequency driver are coupled with 30 and 60 watt power amplifiers made especially for the VL-X5, giving you crisp, tight highs and rich deep bass. Flat frequency response up to 22kHz makes the VL-X5 a great mixing and mastering monitor. Magnetic shielding means you can safely place a pair of VL-X5s next to your DAW computer screen, and the Acoustic Space Control allows you to place the monitors against a wall or in tight studio corners.
In all, the VL-X5's impressive specifications translate into a much larger and clearer sound field than most monitors in its class.

I really like these monitors. They are very neutral and they have switches that will you tune them to your room. I personally turned down 1.5db at 8k and added 1.5db at 150hz. I mainly produce rock music. I would only upgrade to ADAMS.

Just Buy Them!

At this price there is every reason to just buy them. For the first time in years I was forced to upgrade my speaker cables because I could hear the difference. On $300 speakers! They are very clear, even lows (not a ton of lows, but more than a lot of 6" speakers I've heard) and foward sounding. At first you will be convinced they are too bright, but after a day you will realize that they are not hazey like other speakers at this price range. I have spent years with M-Audios that cost the same and did not come close to the clarity and punch. I have also spent a lot of time with KRK Rockits and these Tascams are more even, more defined.
