Ingmar « Price / quality ratio surprising »
Published on 06/01/12 at 15:49I had a monitor with 8 "woofer capable of reproducing almost my bass, while remaining rights and enjoyable for the occasional mixing, components and listening fun. The ribbon tweeters were a plus since they are normally less directive, to move his head a little while you work.
Another bonus, the vent at the front to stick them up against a wall if necessary, the three acoustic settings and the entries pointing downwards allowing better storage.
SOUNDS
I put a 10/10 for sound quality, knowing that there are better obviously, but also much more expensive. From a viewpoint quality / price ratio, I think we would not fly to the pair 7-800 €, 359 € is absolutely brilliant.
The sound is linear and analytical while remaining pleasant, the bass is a little firmer than my Genelec 1031apm, the stereo is a little worse and rendering mediums 1-3kHz a little rough but you can enjoy a vast triangle of listening and there's certainly something to work. Errors are glaring mix on these speakers.
Dynamic rating is very good too, with enough reserve power to blow up the ears.
OVERALL OPINION
I did the comparo with a lot of speakers 8 "up to € 5-600 and I found:
KRK RP8 - low in the middle, low imprecise, very audible breath at rest
Fostex PM2 - such as KRK hyperflation with less serious (I got them home for a few months.
Mackie MR8 - imprecise but not at all fatiquantes
Prodipe Ribbon Pro 8 - similar to the Truth but worse bass, treble a bit exaggerated, LED (light) blue imbitable and recurring quality problems
HS80M - tiring, messy in the lower midrange and aggressive in its closed too but not as analytical as the NS10M
The Truth seem balanced and can work without tiring the ears too. After if I could afford it, I would look to the Big Adam or Focal, but below € 7-800 I have not found anything better, they approach really Genelec less directivity, a little less flattering ( uncorrected) and stereo image somewhat less defined, a little less dynamic but also 80% less in price, it was around € 2000 a pair of 1031A if I remember correctly. Incidentally, I prefer Truth to HR824 that I know well also.
After it is a matter of taste, go listen to them (making sure the trim is at 0,-6dB was an alteration made to the enclosure), also compare and see what fits your normal listening . We can mix on anything, even on the low end hifi if you know its good speakers, but I prefer the Truth in this price range and for now, I do not intend to put more
... Oh yeah, 3 year warranty by Thoto and / or Behringer, do not be afraid ^ ^
