EV Sentry 100A Studio Monitor

ElectroVoice Sentry 100A studio monitor speaker. Big, bold and beautiful. Oversized dome tweeter (1 1/5") and 8" bass drivers in industrial grade enclosure.
Sounds like those giant vintage studio monitors, only lesser bass due to its size. Able to fill up big rooms with ultra wide soundstage with great dynamics and attack but it lacks a bit of depth "sitting in the front roll of a concert stage feel".
I would say that this speaker is not about finesse but it is still very enjoyable to listen to as it throws out a remarkable big soundstage with a generous amount of bass.
