SOUNDS

<ul class="ul">
The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
</ul>
No problem, with tests rta in my room, courble very flat from 150 to 20khz, slight bump in the low midrange. Would fall well until 45Hz without problem. (Note: the problems related in the high bass is probably due to my listening room!)
Edit: After more than a year of use, and (finally) a serious acoustic processing part I realize what she had in her stomach. I can mix with headphones Beyer DT990 Pro or S1 and the result is quite reliable in the first version of a mix. The hump at 150 to simply disappear in favor of a more severe response in the range.

And the sound? / Dynamics is respected?
</ul>
Yes! is bright, airy and deep, with a excellent presence and voices, and bass drums. Spatialization is accurate ... but happiness. Everything is there, and it's cool. Since I have c happiness, eqs, compressors ... you can really do a good job at nearly db!
Edit: One year later, the same remarks, these speakers have an impulse response exeptionnelle, or dosages of comp / export levels on other systems.
Despite the size of the boomers who request still has to be unloaded when the mix is ​​too demanding in the sub, if you know them well, we can trust them ... In addition to a very good headset.

OVERALL OPINION

I used for 6 months, and in the passive models, as well say that nothing happens to their ankle at this price. In the mid-range asset, if you type in part of the Dynaudio, the rest is really inconsistent and arrived to look for defects. In the very high end passive, there are Atohm gt1, and now that's a vamp, but I did not 2500euros! Sold to new and purchased for 720euros 600euros, that is a pity that they are very hard to find, because they are a good way to take advantage of advanced S ranges without breaking the bank ... and without being repatriated to So the ANF10 Honestly, I would do this choice.

Edit: Conclusion 1 year later: the few flaws that I thought were mainly blamed for poor listening conditions. Since the acoustic treatment has changed everything: a lot of album I thought simply missed nivo mix stuck me suddenly slaps sacred.
And it is also sometimes think ... before you go slamming into 3000 euros a pair of speakers, why not try to correct a few acoustics.

While I think moving towards preamplified S2X ADAM, I am a convert to the seriousness of the mark, I'm not ready to let go. 10 on the final grade as this product has a price / performance ratio really incredible.
