I certainly love this price point...but man, stuff is translating really, really well with the SCM12’s and SW. Hard to believe there could be a huge improvement with these or a $10k improvement with the D&Ds

Cheers, Ross It’s probably going to be just like it was for me when I slept with Tiffany Amber Thiessen back in the early 90s*: ruined for life. *did not happen. |

Bump- I’m gassing’ on these atm but they are still back ordered so for the time being I’m safe, however VK is doing the usual 3 years 0 apr thing and still taking orders not charging until they ship... so... maybe??lol-
anyone have these? I know some have the 01’s.
Fwiw I’d be upgrading from Yamaha hs7’s.

I know a couple of guys who love them butI just haven’t found a ring radiator I like over that big of a range (couple of old JBL and Pioneer/ TAD super tweets that work. They would probably be a step up from the Yamahas but here is the thing there is a pair of original B&W 802s for sale locally for $1k that I seam to be using as my speaker yardstick and while the 802 is only good down to 55hz it’s a really good 55hz. I would buy these except if I’m going to buy another large set of speakers and B&W no less I’m going all in on a pair of 808s. Go big or go home.

An analog console with those barefoots is the schnizzle! Could it be that the tweets seem harsh because of the DAW/Converters/and the monitoring system. I'm still not a DAW guy, but the industry has nudged us into this. It always puts a smile on my face to see a nice console and room that is still in use.

Excited to try them in my room, I’ll report back when I get em :-) |

John, I didn't realize you had the SCM 12's. They're $1,850, the Footprint 2's are $3,000. Add a good power amp and the ATC's are let's say.. $600 less expensive.
So, I'm really looking forward to your comparison. These would be my two dream personal studio monitors going mano a mano!

Not having to deal with an external power amp +those wires is definitely a factor I consider- That and I don’t have the $$$ for or ATC SCM25A‘s which I also adore |

Man still awaiting these guys- looks like it might be June until I finally get em Ugh!!!! That's a wait! I was also interested in Barefooting it! I haven't heard the smaller one's, just the MM27's 1st Gen. They were huge and I really dug them in the room I was in at the time. My room is about 1/3rd the size of that big room, plus I don't have $10k for main monitors. 01's or 02's is the question? I haven't done the research yet, but I plan on doing something soon about my monitor/monitor controller issue that needs to be addressed. |

A thousand dollar difference question indeed lol- there was a new pair of 01’s in stock at alto music for a couple days and I was seriously tempted, but luckily someone bought em! I’ve heard the mid range is a little better in the 02’s and for my size room having four 8” speakers found in the 01’s would probably be a little overkill. I’ve been busy building some acoustic treatment in the meantime...  |
