I have purchased directly from the manufacturer's website for $ 299 (introductory price) + customs clearance (Belgium € -110), which makes me a total of about 400 € a pair. The low price is justified by the manufacturer's selling philosophy that distributes itself and avoids going through the middle that drive up the price.
Delivered to my request for 220-240v. no cables supplied with, but my faith is understandable! They have been nice to have a model 220-240v
I think I am one of the first in Europe to have this pair of speakers that my faith is clearly oriented mid-range in direct competition with all the speakers we know the price range under € 1,000 ...
The speakers are very small with the event of decompression on the front. A feature of these speakers is that it's the coaxial ... namely the tweeter is in the cabinet so that all frequencies out in the same axis to avoid distorition live in the midrange.
speakers also feature DSP that handles corrections (a microphone is available behind each speaker) but it is reserved for the factory where reglagles
2 XLR or TRS inputs can
2 knobs:
1 volume (notched)
A boudary which is used to select the response curve as a function of investm thereof
1 - if placed near a wall
2 - if they are back to a wall
3 - if they are in a corner
three different positions interfere only on the low-frequency
I put 9 / 10 because no power supply cord ..
SOUNDS
Good move into the thick of it!
Question context, I tested these speakers in a control room 3m30 x 4m to acoustic treatment (bass trap 6, 8 absorbers on the walls, convoluted foam ceiling, carpeting).
I had the opportunity to hear this SAMSON RUBICON R6A governance, and the YAMAHA HS50M HS80M
At first listen, it's just maddening! These little animals you mail in your face mix of all errors found in the midrange and treble. So you say ... yuck!
They are anything but flattering, however.
A second listen, you begin to understand the interest of these speakers! They tell you the naked truth.
In the medium, the upper midrange and treble, the accuracy is incredible!
I hear details in reverbs that I had never even noticed the headphone. It's been a week since I own them and have done the sorting in the convolutions of my half of Reverb! When a reverb sounds good or not metallic, with the little creatures ca you jump to the ears! In the 400 - 4000 Hz, it is very simple, these microscopes are pregnant!
The highs are very nice, but very detailed ... without being too aggressive.
I can not say anything about listening fatigue which I think is not an argument ... it depends on what you send in!
Low level, there as you would expect on small speakers is nothing below 50Hz ... on the other hand I find that from 60Hz, they are doing more than well! the bass are not swollen but they are fair.
I think the real strength of these speakers is to be secondary to consult the speaker in the mixes of the main speakers ... just as some use Auratone or NS10 ...
the stereo is it the coup, of course excellent
dynamic level, same, they are incredibly flattering without being just.
I would put both sides
8 / 10 if they are considered as the main speakers, because the lack of down makes it impossible to handle below 50hz
10/10 for pregnant side opposite their prices extremely attractive!
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion, I use these speakers for a week and I'm delighted! The value for money is amazing and I would do this choice with eyes closed!
Compared to rubicon or yahama is not even a comparison, it is day and night)
That said even when I keep my Rubicon to toggle between these two plays that are completely different! So I have 2 times more information on my mix, which allows me to point much more quickly on this is wrong!
