A new set of ears!
Upgraded from my old Yamaha HS80M which I'd been using for 10 years.
Wow! I'm staggered at the difference in quality across the whole frequency spectrum. Bass is super tight, punchy and has plenty of subs - you wont need a separate sub. Mids give excellent stereo information including a detailed sense of space between front and back. High end is smooth, pristine and detailed. My old Yamahas tended to be harsh in the high-end a bit strangled in the lows when the in-built limiter kicked in.
I've not yet used the on-board DSP as I have Sonarworks Ref 4 to adjust to my room.
I've spent a few hours tonight listening to reference mixes and it's been like having new ears that can hear so much more detail.
Not budget speakers but boy are they worth it.

Accurate & balanced sound: a quality near-field monitor
+ wooden box: great built quality
+ pronounced bass, no subwoofer required
+ plenty of power: can be used in large rooms
+ brutally honest and accurate sound: very easy to add EQ and reverb to a mix, you will hear things that you have not heard before
+ competitive price point (see Adam 7x)
- too heavy to attach to wall (a bad idea anyway since monitors are rear-ported for bass)
- flimsy plastic dial (but great LEDs)
x unkown: customer service
OVERALL IMPRESSION: great monitors for large rooms when subwoofer is not desired

Superb sound quality but failed after 4 years
Best studio monitors I ever had. My previous setup was a pair of Adam A7X + a Sub8 subwoofer, which sound where a bit colored, and the Eve SC208s are suprisingly neutral sounding. It has very defined mids and the high-end is perfectly balanced, not hyped like the A7X. The bass is very deep and dynamic, it really goes down to 35 Hz at -3 dB, the lowest usable note is D# (39 Hz).
Unfortunately these perfect sounding speakers suddenly stopped working after 4 years of use, no sound coming from them, only cracks and pops. I hope it can be fixed.

Should've known to go to the source (GER) for serious gear. The call is coming from the U.S. !
What a tight bit of gear, folks and somehow less pricey than they charge for it stateside. I'm in love!
