Customer Testimonial

Sonic Electronix is by far the most professional I have ever done business with. Courteous, kind and helpful, throughout all transactions. If there are any questions all employed have a vast knowledge and are eager to be of service. I recommend Sonic to everyone I know who's looking for electronics.

Great for small home recording studio. Descent value. Guess my expectations were too high. I was lookin' for a little more power;But for what I'm using them for there fine. Good sound. Just not loud enough for serious recording. You get what you pay for.

im using them right now, so far so good. quality is good and if you are really into the way your music sounds, alesis has been in the game for a while. i use these for production and i havent looked back its the best buy for those who have a mini setup at home and want to mix down your music. these things even have a little light on the right speaker to let you know its too loud so you dont blow them up (haha). but, i definately recommend buying these and buying from sonic electronics. great service and fast shipping.
