Keith has already shared his impressions in this thread.

Yes, but I was hoping he would elaborate a bit more on his answer. I'd like to know more, if possible.

Don't forget to post your first impressions here. Thank you.

You made the claim. You need to prove it. If you have no data, or research to back it, then you need to remain silent on the issue. Not make the broad claim that you made.

No, you and everyone else who are certain that the objectively best measuring studio monitors will be the best tool for everyone are the ones making the claim.

Great-sounding reference mixes are done on pretty much any studio monitors out there, and there is nothing that points to better-sounding mixes for any specific type of monitors. The quality of the mix is more dependent on the skill of the mixing engineer, and that he feels comfortable and trusts the monitors in use.

It's better to let every individual mixing engineer come up with the tools that work for them and their taste, and those reference quality mixes we are talking about are all the proof that is needed. They prove it every time they deliver satisfying results for their clients, in a business where time is money. They all choose to use the tools that they find work best for them.

And as usual a thread becomes an air saloon .. full of personal opinions..

So, to get back to the original topic . @Purité Audio , I understand you already have your pair of Orbit 11 and have done some listening tests? What are your impressions? Thanks.

I don't think it's a bad thing, unless we start talking about what someone had for dinner last night ;P There are many knowledgeable people on this forum, and exchanging opinions helps those of us who don't know as much, like me, learn a lot. Perhaps some of our opinions, which aren't just myths or common nonsense, can influence or give ideas to those who know a lot about the subject and influence them in some way. Who knows? It would be a mutually beneficial situation in the best-case scenario. But where I do agree with you is that we've gone too far from discussing a new product; perhaps it wasn't necessary, since there are other posts on this forum for that.

I have to say some of the comment's are closer to what they had for dinner than anything related to these speakers.. well.. here are mines..will take them to the Uni on Monday and will do some measurements.. today i will do some measurements on a random room see how that comes off..

I guess there's no escaping it
If you want a very good coaxial you need to pay a lot of $$$
Genelec /KEF/Geithain/TAD
Probably Mofi too

At which point was it determined that these are not good?

Well first glance.. Listening to a few genres straight from an arturia audiofuse.. cd playing on the pc case.. The snares sound real, the upper bass is here in the room and i can see it and from 28 up to 50 is everywhere in the room.. 300 hz is 100% more defined than my well used focal solos, 2k up to 10k is very bright but sounds coherent in relation to the other frequencies, but again just plugged them in.. here is my saloon input

I don't know if it make any sense, but here's a Sonarworks mesure and my room so you can have an idea of the configuration.

That looks remarkably flat, disregarding the obvious room modes. Nice.

And with the correction it's totally flat witch wasn't the case with my previous coax (Équator D8).

Wao very different than mine.. again subjective to room and audio interface..

I never said that these aren't good
I just said that for *very good* performance
Close to perfect
You have to pay a lot of $$$

Relax, it's another cop out

I'm sorry but you have no idea what you are speaking. No personal experience, no measurements, just bias and second hand bias
