can anyone comment on how these hold up over time? i was not particularly
impressed with their top-end response - a little 'muted' - otherwise quite
impressive.

Review in Stereophile V24/#10.

thanks, but I don't think I'll be subscribing simply to read one review. i
was hoping to hear from everyday users who might have some experience with
them.

I had no knowledge of whether you are a subscriber or not. At one
time, the review was posted on the website and, possibly, Monsoon can
provide a copy if it is unavailable from Stereophile.

If your email address would have worked, a copy of the review would
already be there.

There was a problem with the hand-held volume control in early 1000's, which
Monsoon solved by replacing it.

Hand-held volume control? For the FPF-1000?

As someone has enlightened me, we may be speaking of different
speakers. The MM-1000 is a powered PC speaker which probably has a
volume control. I was speaking of the FPF-1000 which is a larger
planar for use with standard amplifiers.

Right. I would recommend the MM-1000's but I wouldn't recommend the
FPF-1000's.

That's exactly right. Mr Krueger's comments seemed to be directed to the
MM-1000. I've tested both and the MM-1000 is outstanding while the FPF-1000 is
fairly pedestrian in performance.
