iloud MTM

I would like to listen to the truest artist intended way but also would like to casually get into techno music production. So which speakers should I buy? Whichever you like. You can use a speaker with a colored sound (e.g. elevated treble) for music production, as long as you understand what colora

The Genelec 8010 is a pretty thin sounding monitor. Even with room correction bumping up the low end I don’t quite think they’ll be super pleasing without significant support from a sub. The iLouds on the other end have no problem getting down to below 40hz, again especially with corrective software

iLoud MTM MKIIs for a medium sized room, or the iLoud Micro Monitor Pros for a smaller room. I started with the Micro Monitors, and upgraded to the MTMs last year because of GAS, but I don’t regret it. They sound great out of the box, and can be further calibrated to your room using the included ARC

This is not a meaningful comparison. The Genelecs’ build quality is much better, with an enclosure made from aluminum and a high resale value even after years. But the 8010 model is designed as a size marvel first, sacrificing low end extension and SPL. The iLoud MTM can play much louder and lower a

ILoud MTM are fantastic. Not the basic iLouds, but the MTM, either version. Insanely detailed and clear, shocking amount of clean bass and volume for the size. And they have a built in calibration system to tune to whatever room youre in

Thank you for posting this. I won't be buying the D3Vs then. I currently have the 1st gen iLoud MTM on my desktop and while they sound fantastic, they are dying and I need a replacement. I'm often listening to music at barely audiable, whisper low volume, late at night when someone is sleeping in th

For overall good quality of sound, you can't beat a pair of Sony 7506 headphones. They're $100 and they'll give him good frequency response across the spectrum. They'll have far better bass than any (non-sub) ported monitor speaker (Ports tend to make bass muddy). Or a set of good in ear monitors (e

Another speaker to potentially consider is the ILoud MTM. It has built in room correction and works down to 40 hz. Probably not as loud as the 7s if you’re going for volume, but probably more detailed.

This is not completely analogous to your setup, but I just moved from my HS5’s I’ve had for the last 13 years to iLoud Micro Monitor Pro’s with the room correction mic, and it was a “wow” moment for me. Maybe give those, or the iLoud MTM’s, plus their sub a look, as it would give you the full spectr

I recently went through this myself. The problem with asking about studio monitors is that people who are mixing music are looking for something totally different than a musician just wanting decent "good" sound while they're making/playing music. Studio monitors are not going to sound good and full
