...it's the bass-heavy stuff, especially when accompanied by a more delicate top end that makes you want to bring the volume up.
Add a Presonus Sub8 between your DAC and MTMs and high pass the MTMs @ 80Hz so they can get on with the good stuff

I believe the v2 measure better.The IN-8's didn't measure great... Kali Audio IN-8 Studio Monitor Review | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum
Did you hear hiss from the A5X when nothing was playing? The MTMs are pretty good in this respect.

Yes, the hiss of Adam A5X was audible from a distance of about 80 cm. Surprisingly, my old Fluid F5 hisses less.
And I have one more question - IK MTM iLoud MTM have a rear bass reflex. Will it be a big problem if they are placed about 15 cm from the wall?

However, I would still have two practical questions:
Ok, thanks for the reply.
However, I would still have two practical questions:
1. What is the optimal connection of speakers with DAC? My DAC (Audinst HUD-MX2) has only outputs 2x RCA - will it be ok to use an RCA-XLR cable? (I ask mainly because of ground loops).
2. Do you use any stands or have them placed on the table?

You may be able to use the optical in of your DAC instead of USB, then RCA to XLR.

Yes, I use an optical output on my DAC, because when I used a USB connection I could hear a significant hum from the woofers.
Btw. my current studio monitors (Fluid F5) are connected with an RCA-RCA cable and I don't hear any hum. So, it means that when I use an XLR-RCA cable (to connect iLoud MTM) it should be the same, right?
I've just got a pair of these as my desktop speakers. Note, I'm not doing any sound engineering/studio work or anything — a more audio-savvy friend heavily recommended them to me and I just didn't feel like researching anything else.
Question: I've read in this thread that selection of the "LF extension" point somehow influences the speakers' dynamic range or otherwise "helps" them. How does that work?
I had no idea you could plug TRS in there. Well, that's one way to do it.TRS plugs are smaller and have a built in ability to adjust their angle...
