    you changed three-way speakers for two-way speakers ???

      @@nothority_artist Yes I did. Quality over quantity, look at it like this. A Large bucket of water will hold more pouring power than two buckets of half the size. The 3 way system is 2 Mid sized Woofers and and one coned tweeters. VS One larger Woofers and ribbon tweeters. Like i explained in the video it makes more sense for me in my room size and use case. Thanks for watching!!☺️

    Nice video, mate! I use a pair of Adam A7V + SVS SB-3000 for my PC's gaming and music audio. I'm super impressed with the A7V after years of using passive speakers. Agreed on the iLoud Micros. They punch way above their weight class and work great form my MB Air's mobile audio.

    Yo my guy. Thanks for the video. I got the A7Xs in the krib (perm) location in Atlanta. I know you're confirming different level. But would you recommend the MTMs for when i'm overseas and don't have a permanent setup (friends holding equipment I can't travel with)?

    So how come you didn't try the iLoud MTM Mk2's? They just dropped the new ones recently and maybe all the problems you had with the original MTM's were solved on the new one?

    • @8notes_
      @8notes_  6 місяців тому

      No, the first model was great, so i can imagine the new would be better, but it’s more of an acoustics difference, the small body doesn’t move enough air around for my use case, Size Matters☺️

      I’m pushing a tiny pair of Abacus C-Box3. Mine are made of concrete and are straight alchemy. I’d put them in the ‘super nearfield’ category by way of their diminutive size. They are fully analog with no DSP, no bass reflex or tuned ports. Just solid concrete boxes that play from 20khz all the way down to 35hz. They are truly something and yu can hear the whole frequency spectrum. I reckon yu could probably take the standard wooden ones on the road with yu, with the right protective casing. The concrete ones being too heavy for portability.
      Anyways if anyone’s in the market, do check em out. They are truly hi end mini marvel’s 🔈🔈🔈

    Agree that if you can avoid DSP and do things more as nature (physics) intended then you will absolutely benefit . That means a properly treated room etc. Having said that, IK multimedia just released the new version of the MTMs with vastly improved everything and it's creating quite the storm.

    You realize IK has bigger monitors right? Should’ve just got the precisions. Bigger speaker, handcrafted and still has the dsp.

    • @8notes_
      @8notes_  6 місяців тому

      You're right but the Precisions are still more DSP centric and not acoustically prioritised. It sounds really good but not as "Natural" take the ribbon tweeters in the Adams for example. Plus the precisions cost twice the price for a pair.
