Recently i just bought 2 products from TASCAM, one of them is Studio Monitor Speakers VL-S5 which i took a risk to order from local distributor and waited 3 weeks without tested it beforehand. i hooked them up with my 12-Channel Audio Mixer and seriously the sound quality is amazing brilliant and it only cost almost half of Yamaha equivalent grade of speakers. TASCAM just like RODE microphones these brands are very affordable and made excellent quality of products. i really fall in love with VL-S5 especially when playing the slow rock music pieces... so very believable and lovable!
