These appear to be well made, very heavy for the size. Impressive first impression. The included yoke is great to position the monitor just at the right angle. They are VERY detailed in the high-mid range... VERY!
However...
- The internal DSP causes a 5.75ms delay (measured). This might be no big deal in most situations, but it was for me when playing an instrument through a DI. You 'feel' something is not right, not in phase... (I'm used to direct analog monitoring).
- When used in close nearfield context, there IS a very low but noticeable idle isss. Not a problem when playing music, though.
- They pack a lot of low end (for their size), and at the same time they are VERY high-mid forward, so in relative, they feel low-mid shy a bit...
4 stars for features: the LF and HF controls are nice to have built-in, but they are very subtle. -1 star because the optional DSP remote for more control is out of price.
3 stars for sound: they did not translate that well for me. All monitors have a learning curve, but I didn't feel these were worth it... To sum up: If you need a very chirurgical / analysing little monitor, these might work for you. Otherwise, if you're into easy and relax listening monitors, get something else.

Absolutely flawless

KS Digital makes utmost quality products. First I was worried the size of the speakers, but when I heard them I was a bit shocked. I use 2 x KS Digital C5 Reference Monitor with RME Fireface UC interface and now I'm planning to buy KS Digital B88 Reference Subwoofer to complete my home set. Briefly, those are top quality German craftmanship.

I don't get tired of listening and it sounds musical.

I can hear the smallest of details with these speakers, which I couldn't hear with my previous speakers.
This is a musically audible monitor speaker.
It is suitable for music production and mixing.
Unfortunately there was an error. Please try again later.

Ganz ehrlich, zuerst war ich skeptisch als die "kleinen" Würfel aus der Verpackung holte.
HS80 + HS10W abgeklemmet und die KSD C5 aufgestellt.
Anschließend ein paar Platten aufgelegt und ich hatte Tränen der Freude in den Augen !
Was für wahnsinns Lautsprecher....
Nun ist das Musikhören und produzieren wie Urlaub.... purer Genuss.
Ich und alle die in mein kleines Studio kommen sind vollkommen verzaubert.
Der Bass und die präzision sind wirklich der Hammer !
Danke an KSD für diese wundervollen Monitore.

To be honest, I was skeptical at first when I took the “small” cubes out of the packaging. HS80 + HS10W disconnected and the KSD C5 set up. Afterwards I put on a few records and I had tears of joy in my eyes! What amazing speakers... Now listening to and producing music is like a vacation... pure enjoyment. Me and everyone who comes to my little studio are completely enchanted. The bass and precision are really awesome! Thanks to KSD for these wonderful monitors.
