Fluid Audio Image 1 vs Barefoot Footprint 02 gen 2

The transients are really good. I came from a pair of Yamaha HS8 (with a HS8S sub) and when I got the Fluid’s and searched th

Which Monitors should I get?
In your shoes I'd get Kali IN-8 v2's or if you can stretch your budget, Fluid Audio Image 2's.

Looking for Studio Monitors ~$2,000–$3,000 for Small Home Studio (Experimental Electronic / Ambient / Indie Pop / Contemporary Classical)
Fluid Audio Image 2's are very underrated. Desert island level monitors
