Pioneer RM-05 coaxiale monitor
I use these monitors as hifi loudspeaker, not quite the intended use. Since these are my first active speakers I have no reference. I can only compare them with their passive predecessors, KEF Q100 and JBL Studio 540 bookshelf speakers.
In comparison, the RM-05s have superior dynamics, transparency and detail. It is especially noticeable with choral and orchestral works at high volume. The sound through my passive speakers seem to clog and choke, but the RM's remain crystal clear.
Stereo imaging is more solid, with somewhat more stage depth. Still no holographic imaging despite the coincident construction, but tbh the KEF couldn't do that either.
Low frequency extension is comparable with my previous passive speakers, but the bass is much more tight and powerful.
The RM-05's are hands-down the best speakers I had. At this price they are a bargain.
