There is a review of MaXiO XD published on December edition.
The summary says;
“With excellent audio quality and a huge number of versatile features, ESI have managed to cram a huge amount into their MaXiO XD system. This should make it attractive to lots of different types of musician, especially if ESI provide some different expansion options in the future, although some studio owners may find the lack of rear-panel inputs on the current EX8000 box a little frustrating.”
And also it says in Conclusion that;
“A much closer competitor is MOTU’s Firewire-based 896HD, which does support 192KHz, has eight mic/line inputs and 10 analogue outputs plus separate stereo headphone output, and features ADAT optical, stereo AES-EBU digital and word clock I/O, as well as the option of stand-alone use, providing up to 18 ins and 20 outs at 44.1 and 48 kHz. But it doesn’t have its inserts, simultaneous +4/-10 analogue outs, multiple AES-EBU or S/PDIF I/O, and using more than two units may not be possible on PCs when running at 192kHz, although four units have been used at this sample rate with some Macs for 32-in/out operation.
Overall, ESI’s MaXiO XD is certainly an ambitious and impressive system, and with its high-quality audio, well written drivers and incredibly versatile options it ought to find a home in many rigs, especially for those who want plenty of future expansion potential.”

another review for nEar05..
>>>>>
Comparing nEar 05 eXperience to its closest competitors Roland DS-5 and KRK Systems V4 Series2, it's hard to tell which monitors are better. But we can note the following. KRK takes up the lead in sound saturation with low frequencies, but its MF and HF quality is worse than in both competitors. Roland DS-5 monitors are the best at high and medium frequencies, being slightly inferior to nEar 05 eXperience in low frequencies.
Thus, the choice of monitors should be governed by your own priorities or tasks. In our opinion, nEar 05 eXperience monitors rank between Roland DS-5 and KRK V4 Series2.
