I would love to see a review & comparison of the Swan M300MKII to the M300, D1090, D300. The M300 Mk2 has improved power, a larger physical size, a changed tweeter (from cat-eye to ribbon), and is 3-way (opposed to 2-way). It's a big jump in price though at MSRP $800 or $900 compared to M300 Mk1 ($530), D1090 ($400), D300 ($300).

[@jakewarner1993]

Hey Zeos, question....Any chance you could do a short video or something on how you made that chair out of a car seat? I want to do something similar but cant find any info online for how to do it that makes sense.

[@ZReviews]

It would vary wildly per chair. each one does something differently. So just need to use wood to figure out how to make it work.

[@stewiegriffin993]

I've had them for months, tried them in every configuration possible - can confirm maxing out the bass and treble knobs "unlock" the speakers like in Zeos' M300 MkII review (go check it out there) - everything sounds better, nothing sounds too much, it's definitely not a "boost". Also the difference in analog vs digital input is perceptible, but very slightly so. I prefer to keep the signal chain to them digital (get the cheap SMSL PO100 and connect it to your laptop or something). The ONLY flaw is that the volume jumps are rather large so it gets annoying (and they really do sound much better loud) so sometimes I just connect them via XLR to my DAC and lower the signal on the DAC so I can crank the actual speakers. TL;DR HIGHEST PRAISE FOR SWAN

[@Synthematix]

Digital is shite for audio tbh

@Z Reviews gotta love timing. If this video had come out a week later I could have grabbed a set of these.

I am putting together a new desk and want some nice nearfield bookshelf/monitor speakers to add to it. Thanks.

[@stewiegriffin993]

These are way too huge for nearfield tbh. I recommend the Kali IN-5 (not the 8-inch, too big once again)

[@xyanide1986]

[@richardhopkins9493]

[@Jeremy_M_]

For anyone wondering, They are already sold out on Amazon.

[@boomcrash]

They’re Emotiva Airmotiv/Stealth 6, but not quite. Emotiva made the superior version of these almost 10 years ago; however, the rear adjustments are a nice touch. I’m surprised you’re not comparing them to the Emo!

[@EricBow]

Since you also reviewed the Swan M300 MKII and the Yamaha HS8 (5 years ago), I wonder how they compare to each other, especially regarding the lows. I know the Yamaha HS8 has impressive lows, and as near field studio monitors the may be aiming for a somewhat different audience, but I would love to know how the HS8 compares to the Swan D300 and M300 MKII. Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!!

[@vdrc9787]

Z, with these being out of stock, was thinking about buying an older Swan. Need a powered speaker for a decent sized bedroom, only connection will be TV and Bluetooth devices. Amazon has the M200mkIII, M3A, M300 and M300mkII. I was leaning M3A, but wanted to keep purchase under $1000. I see in a comment you mention the M300mkII, but it looks like you only reviewed the M300. Is this a great option? Is sound improvement worth the extra $300? Or just buck up, spend the extra $ and get the M3A? Thanks!

[@MonkeyDude1999]

Are these better than the klipsch RP-600M’s?? You said in you’re review that those are the golden standard and the best speakers under 500 dollars.... I’m curious what you think about the comparison.

[@jonathanwills4726]

Zeos of course they are sold out. I noticed the M300mkIII has a ribbon tweeter. they are $899. Looks kind of killer now tbh. What do you think? There are zero reviews for them but if they have a similar tweeter and woofer they should be good right?

You keep talking about how loud these are... I know they are different types of speakers for different applications but how would you compare the clarity and loudness of these speakers to the PSA mt110 you reviewed a while back?

[@dwighttsharpe]

Yep. They actually could be had for less than $380 in the US. Plus tax of course. I went for the D200's for $280. Like them a lot. Do worry about US warranty support as apparently, there is none.

[@Valla451]

So, if I'm just about to buy a pair of powered speakers for my desktop (I say desktop, but my speakers are on stands and it uses a 48" tv as a monitor and I just push my chair back if I want to watch movies and such), and I was pretty sold on the Triangle Elaras, should I reconsider and maybe get these instead? I might be psychotic enough to use these for a desk setup, but right now, I don't really get them loud that often. It sounds like these are better, but how much? If it's pretty close, I like the look of the Triangle's way more, enough so that I'd still go with them if they're just "not quite as good". I think these are pretty ugly ngl. But if it's a "you'd be a moron to buy something other than the Swans" difference, I might wait until these are back in stock (already sold out, F). I'm very meh on the appearance, and I don't like spending $500+ on things I'm meh about.
