Complete redesign
With a complete redesign of its Resolv line of reference monitors, Samson ombines precise engineering with an elegant new cabinet design. Resolv active reference monitors were developed to provide perfectly accurate monitoring from professional recording studios and project studios to post-production and other multimedia applications.

Carbon fiber LF drivers
In addition to woven carbon fiber woofers that provide tight and controlled low frequency response and a low diffraction wave guide for precise imaging, Resolv monitors feature a 1" silk dome tweeter, offering a smooth, sweet high frequency response.

Sleek cabinet, cool operation
For cooler operation and low thermal compression, each Resolv model has an external heat-sink, ferro-fluid cooling and a ventilated ceramic motor structure. Constructed with Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) for maximum SPL, the Resolv monitors have a sleek, professional appearance with a new black lacquer finish. Of course, the monitors are also AV-shielded for operation near computer monitors and include a four-position high frequency lift control to tailor their response to any mixing environment.

  • 2-way, active studio reference monitor with ported, tuned enclosure
  • 5" carbon fiber woofer

Why did I give these a 5 star rating ? For the money they sound like a much more expensive monitor. I'm using them for practice and some mixing. For rehearsal they're fantastic.

I started out with the Yamaha HS50 as I was told those would give me an "honest" Mix. A year later I bought these for HALF THE PRICE of the Yamahas! They litterally destroyed the yamahas! The bass res... read more [+]ponse is great, the midrange is amazing and the highs are clear as well. I wouldnt use them as my main monitors but deffinately as a 2nd reference! close [-]

OK monitors

by Wagdas from SF, Ca

Music Background: composing, recording, mixing
Mid-range is nice, highs are OK, but bass is weak. However, you might find it not bad at all if you work on med/high volume.

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
