Sonodyne SM100Ak Active Sudio Monitor

The name Sonodyne might not be well known in the U.S. but overseas this company from India has been making Hi-Fi gear for over thirty years. Then in the 90's they started making products for Pro Audio enthusiasts. The SM Studio Monitor series is their first offering in the "West". The SM100Ak has received positive reviews from various audio professionals and periodicals.
The SM100Ak is said to have excellent clarity, detail and imaging without being overly bright or harsh. "With a 6.5" driver nestled inside an aluminum enclosure, the SM 100AK monitors deliver a clean, articulate sound that paints an accurate picture of what you're tracking or editing. "
