I've had a pair of these in my studio for about 5 months now and they are phenomenal. The low end is very nice, already did a film score with them and mixing it was a breeze.
With the soundId correction on - it‘s fantastic. Probably I would reduce the correction a bit to have more low end. I use Adams T7Vs. So I know these tweeters well. 👌🏼
Hello , yet another great video . Very interesting comparison between "with and without " correction . Is there a way to reduce correction a bit ? Thank you very much
Thanks Warren. Can you tell me what is the distance between the speakers? I assume judging by the 43" wide console, and accounting for the (39") depth of the console, they sit somewhere around 75" to 80" apart. I am even close? :D
These look great, thanks for the review. I am on old ADAM A7s right now. Not all bad but could use an upgrade. ADAM A8H and these Fluid ones seem appropriate contenders. Any comments on that, anyone? Unfortunately there's no retailer nearby stocking both.
Hey Warren, great video as always! I’d love to know your thoughts on the kali audio IN-8v2 versus these image 2s - since I recall you have a lot of experience using the IN series and was wondering how they compare in terms of imaging, mid range clarity, transient response, and translation.
Hi, how would you compare these to the Neumann 310’s ? Currently choosing between these two for an all in 1 producing, mixing and mastering. Thanks in advance :)

@@Producelikeaprothe directivity index would show how even the spread is through the spectrum. Ideally it should narrow as it gets higher in frequency. That way you separate spatial cues between the two sides, and you have less high frequency energy hitting the first reflection points. If the crossover points aren't quite right, like if the drivers are too far apart, or the crossover point is set too high, you'll see the dispersion suddenly going back down before going back up. Usually in the lower treble because of crossover to the tweeter. What can happen then is that the energy here is spread MORE out to the side walls than the energy above and below it, so the unpleasant lower treble is what gets reflected around the room more.
8:18 So Roland is God? On the first day, Roland created Adam and Eve tweeters. On the second day they were cast out of the Studio of Eden, giving us biblical accuracy in our tweeters ever since.
Maybe it's also what causes so much bass cut after correction. To the extent I'd maybe even worry about mixing low end with it (maybe I'm wrong, it's just recording), but at least it's not so boomy.
@@Producelikeapro I really appreciate it. It was just something I observed in my own room - the left sepaelr especially had some big bass bumps due to proximity to a corner that I needed to correct. But I guess high frequency preoblems can be just as problematic.
My monitors in my small mixing room have to be against the wall and as well as rolling off the bottom end I use ARC 4 to flatten out the bass bump. Another thing to mention is that although I don't have to use a sub with my Adams A8H's using my Kali WS-6.2 sub does give me a better stereo image. I guess this is because I'm losing some low end reflections off the walls which are about 2 foot away. 🤔
@@MFKitten its prob not a big difference but recessed inclosures usually add treble so if the measurements were flat and your trying to mix on them then your mix will come out with less treble
@@Durkhead that's not quite how it works. What the horn does is narrow down the response and increase the efficiency of the driver. Having the horn there means you don't get as much side wall reflection of the treble bouncing around. With a waveguide/horn loaded tweeter, that also has a well adjusted output to compensate for the harshness that horns inherently add, you will have a cleaner flatter sounding treble.
@@MFKitten my point is the horn is altering the sound after it comes out of the speaker so when you try to mix on them you think theres enough treble but because the horn made the tweeter more efficient (louder) you dont actually add enough treble but like i said its prob not a big deal
@@Durkhead and my point is an acoustic measurement revealed that to not be the case here. The amount of treble is perfectly balanced vs the mids, and the treble is very even and smooth.

Hello Warren, what keyboard is that in the desk?

Thanks ever so much for sharing!
SoundID really doing the great job here! Tough that "cube mode" gives that instant "radio check" soundprint. Nice.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Saw the title and was worried about my bank account but when i saw the price i stopped worrying lol
Haha phew!

Very interesting video, especially after the 7 speaker shootout video
Thanks ever so much!

I'll have to measure!

This was a good video warren really considering saving up and getting these!
Thanks for sharing!
The speaker/monitor wall mounts. They look nice. What are they? thanks in advance!!!
?
Great video!
Thanks ever so much!

Great review yet again warren
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much!
I like the sound {of your room} without correction !!!
Yes, it's pretty amazing sounding!
Thanks for the review,Warren.
You're very welcome!
Would love to see a comparison video with the Adams A8H's and the 3-way Heeds. 😎
Marvellous idea!
Thanks for the review 🤝🫡
Not nearly as boomy with sound ID and it’s almost like the midrange comes alive as well.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Marvellous!
Thanks ever so much!
Have they released a tour of the new studio space yet?
Have we done a studio tour of the new spitfire yet? No not yet!

I would be interested to see the directivity measurements on these.

Is this an Adam product?
No, not at all, different company

Haha thanks for the great comment!
And NO, he is NOT God! He is very talented though
2:50 that speaker looks like it’s extremely close to the back wall. Doesn’t that cause a huge bass bump?
Maybe it's also what causes so much bass cut after correction. To the extent I'd maybe even worry about mixing low end with it (maybe I'm wrong, it's just recording), but at least it's not so boomy.
We had a huge amount of experimentation finding the best, flattest position for the speakers.

How do we feel they perform in the easiest comparison ever? Thomas Barefoot doesn't want to see that, guaranteed, so you should do it.
Going to use them for a while to report back!
🔥
Thanks ever so much!

Marvellous
Eve 3070, cant go wrong!
Thanks for sharing!
I bet that horn makes the ribbon sound good but i believe for reference it will kind of fool you and your actual mix might sound kind of dull
I mean, the measurements show an even amount of treble.
@@MFKitten its prob not a big difference but recessed inclosures usually add treble so if the measurements were flat and your trying to mix on them then your mix will come out with less treble
@@Durkhead that's not quite how it works. What the horn does is narrow down the response and increase the efficiency of the driver. Having the horn there means you don't get as much side wall reflection of the treble bouncing around.
