Paul White, Sound on Sound June 2007, comments on the M-Audio EX66 Active Monitors:
“I have to admit that I didn't quite know what to expect from M-Audio, as they aren't known for high-end monitors, but the EX66 might just fast-track them into the big boys' league. Within their price range, these monitors come across very well in terms of clarity, presentation of detail and bass extension. I'm particularly impressed by their ability to cut through the clutter within a mix and present each sound source as a clearly separate entity. There are occasions on which the extended low end tends to hide the detail within sounds such as bass guitars and kick drums, but as mentioned earlier, you can always tame the bass using the filter and Acoustic Space switches. I've noticed the same tendency for the bass end to obscure other aspects of the mix in larger studio monitors designed for greater bass extension, so it may well be unavoidable.”
“The EX66 meet pretty much all the requirements of high-end monitors. Their ability to let you hear individual elements within a mix is amongst the best I've heard and they seem very well suited to analytical listening. Mixes done on these monitors also appear to travel well, which, when it comes down to it, is what really matters.”
