Conclusion

I would like to say in conclusion that I liked Creative Inspire Monitor M80 at first glance, as soon as I took out of the box. When I connected it to my system and played around with it for a while, I got even more certain about it. I can state that Creative Labs once again proved to us: they know how to win new market segments, it’s not that hard. I would recommend this sound system solution for home semi-professional systems as an excellent choice.

Highs:

• Attractive price;
• Excellent exterior design;
• Headphones jack on the front panel;
• Two linear Input ports with RCA and Mini-jack connectors;
• Long cables;
• Excellent dynamic range;
• Clean and undistorted sounding of very complex musical compositions.

Lows:

• Small power reserve;
• Misbalanced sounding at the lowest volume.
