Well said Duke … You are not far off the mark I suspectGiven that D&D's primary market is professional recording studios, and given that the 8c is a worldclass midfield monitor, two directions they might go are towards main monitors or towards dedicated mixing monitors. And main monitors would call for significantly higher output, as one of the jobs of the main monitors is "impress the clients", in this case the clients being the musicians who are paying the recording studio. When the studio plays the album they just finished for the band, they want the band members to be blown away. This doesn't usually happen at modest sound pressure levels.
My guess is that the step up (in output at least) from midfield monitors to main monitors is likely to be a significant one.
CorrectThere's no way it'll be worse
Somebody has been paying attention and has a good memoryI believe he is looking for something with more output.
I would too.Already did, dropped from short list
Exactly, and overpriced for what you get. If I were going to go that route would have someone build me a set of the M2 clones for a fraction of the priceI would too.
Nice speakers to be sure and impeccable measurements, but for my taste they are lacking subjectively from the mids on up and then there is the aesthetic challenge.
Wishing you a future with high output.Nothing wrong except lacking in output. Go big or go home, surface area is king
Sorry Duke, appreciate the kind words, but I think you are mistaking my room with another. It is yet to be built (unfortunately)
Maybe you are just seeing the futureThat's weird. I have a mental image of what I thought was your room. Ha!
Maybe you are just seeing the future
Well played sir, well playedWell that would explain my speakers being in the room and your bank account being empty...
Yup … already well aware of those, been discussing with AJ for weeks. They are the new Titans, horn loaded line source with Dayton (previous B&G) planars and 12 (yes 12) Dayton woofers per tower. Fully active variable directivity cardioid! I wasn’t going to mention anything quite yet because I only got to spend a short time with them first day of show, wanted to give them a fair shake. Do note they are just prototypes and still need some “tweaking”, but even so, wow, amazing sound from these beasts. Will be spending more time with them last day of show and provide a more detailed report later.
Um, WOW. You had me at "fully active variable directivity cardioid." Plus, I actually really like the look (even if they are prototypes in a somewhat dark room). Having neither heard them or heard OF them, these are now my endgame speakers. Now, the only serious question to ask myself is which major organ I might be able to live without (at least for a little while) in order to afford them... anyone here need a kidney? Spleen? Thyroid? Anyone?Yup … already well aware of those, been discussing with AJ for weeks.

And I am sure you noticed, and to my prior comments, no room treatment in that room
The heart wants what the heart wants. I see roads leading to AJ's speakers (he does need up update the website though!)Yup … already well aware of those, been discussing with AJ for weeks.

Well, not sure what your budget is, but in this hobby of insane pricing, these are reasonably (it’s all relative of course) priced at $22kUm, WOW.

Sorry, is it meters or ft?Correct, thank you sir. Although it is the room to be built, does not yet exist
Sorry, that would be feetSorry, is it meters or ft?
No worries, all good … I am sure you were thinking wow, that is a massive room (assuming meters)Sorry, is it meters or ft?
never mind, answered later in this thread.
Ignore me
