Just wanted to recommend this active monitor. The bang of the buck on this one when buying used is off the charts.
 
That sub millisecond impulse response really is quite something.

I would hope so since they are almost $8K a pair new :)

Cool. Can you share the measurements?

About .5ms, an order of magnitude better than passive speakers, you can really hear the difference from low to hi frequencies. Actives are in a totally different league than passives.
 
I got this pair for way less than 8K and considering I had 3k and 5k amps before, this is like free speaker!
