just wanted to chime in, because i received the iloud precision mtm monitors this morning.
i also posted my first impressions of the speakers on gearpace.com, so here we go:
i currently have them at my living right now, and will move them into the studio in a few days.
first reaction; they are ...LOUD! good thing even though they are loud – no noticeable hiss, even at +5db.
i'm listening to the new beyonce album right now, which has a nice mix/master. bass is controlled, deep and not really comparable to the original mtms – it simply is just "bigger" and much more defined, i don't know why somebody would need sub with these. the vocal presentation is astounding and lovely. stereoimaging is also a strong point of these speakers, it's fantastic.
this is just a few hours in, at my home, not in a properly treated studio room, but i can already say, that im gonna keep these 100%.
a big step up from my previous owned kali in-8 2nd, and the original iloud mtm.
all i can say is that im really impressed by now – really, really dig them!
i will see how they compare to the neumann KH310, once i moved them to the studio, but from my first impressions i can already tell, the precision mtm can absolutely compete against the neumanns (really not sorry for the neumann / genelec fans).
ps. i didnt mess with room calibration and the arc 3 software yet – will most likely do it when i moved the speakers to the studio.
but; they way i see it is, that speakers should sound good, regardless of all the fancy room correction stuff. and i can honestly say, that even if there would be any additional room calibration software, i would still keep them just the way they are!
