Mix Cube

Oh you're lucky. I have Avantone Mixcubes and I adore them. People say the Auratones are even better. Working on Avantones is similar to the "mono trick." (In fact, you can combine the two and work on a single mono Auratone.) The limited frequency range puts your focus on the most musical and critic

Good question. I own a pair of Avantone Mixcubes and I've used them stereo, dual-mono, and also single-mono. My favorite way to use a speaker like that is definitely single-mono, and I even got a stereo-to-mono summing box so I have instant mono without having to click "mono" in the DAW. (Well spent

Right now I'm just using my single Avantone mixcube + HD650s (with Sonarworks correction) and they get me about 95% of the way there with all my mixes. Untreated room and sort of temporary living situation so I won't be changing that. My midrange feels great on just these two. I occasionally test in

Hmm... I don't know that loudness by number, but are you just listening too loud? Could it be the wide range of frequencies, from the subs to the top end air frequencies that just overload your brain after a while? If so, I kind of get that...

IN8v2 will have a different sound for ya. Or make the move to CLA-10 actives and a pair of Auratone cubes, if you want to get a hold of your mids and small format. The Avantone cubes don’t sound the same as the Auratones. There CLA-10s sound almost identical to the actual Yamaha ns-10s. The HS serie

You'd be better off spending some extra coin on the Gen 4 or 5 series or getting an Avantone mixcube. The Classics were amazing besides a weird muddy resonance in their low mids, the G4 and up addresses that and have a pretty flat response. Anything in the sub $400 budget range (Yamaha hs, JBL lsr,

I might have a very helpful perspective for you because I upgraded from Yamaha HS8s to the exact setup you are eyeing - KH80s plus the KH750 sub. My room is also semi treated. It was night and day difference. The inbuilt Neumann room correction makes all the difference. What's funny is that my HS8s
