NUBOLEDI « THE NEW WORLD REFERENCE »
Published on 12/01/11 at 03:21I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE NEW REFERENCE THAT CAN REPLACE THE NS10. IN OTHER WORDS A PAIR OF MONITORS THAT WORK ANYWHERE, THAT PROVIDE ALWAYS THE SAME INFORMATION ON EVERY MIX AND THE SAME FEELING WHEN LISTENING TO THEM.
I have a small 118 sq ft room and I was looking for the right sound, without a huge bottom end nor flattering highs, but I also did not want a pair of sterile speakers.
I'll tell you, these Neumanns will become the NS10 for home studios and more.
SOUNDS
Their neutrality is incredible, like their dynamic response. In short, I was shocked by their quality, which made me think of mastering speakers, without them being so. You can nevertheless tell right away in which league these speakers play. I was looking for a compromise between Adam and Focal, without the too wonderful highs of the Adams nor the lack of musicality of the Focal.
The stereo image is very good, I wouldn't say extraordinary because they are small speakers and the image depends a lot on the room.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using them for one week after having had the Mackie mr5 (too much lows) and Adam a7 (highs are too precise), I was surprised by the size of these speakers, which are too small for my taste, they seem bigger in the ads. They are worth their price, no doubt about that, even though $1500 isn't exactly cheap.
