The title’s a bit misleading as almost half prefer their monitors, still interesting to get their insights though: only one using an expensive pair!  |

Yes, it’s gimmicky. It’s also the best purchase I’ve made in recent memory. I have spent a small fortune on monitors and room treatment. I’m at the point where I think my only options to upgrade would be Trinnov or speakers that calibrate themselves to the room like Dutch Audio or Kii, or of course hiring an acoustic consultant. I was very skeptical too, but a very high profile recording engineer that I used to assist for told me they were the real deal, so I tried them. Glad I did. I’ve tried the Waves stuff and thought it was a letdown in comparison to my monitors with the Trinnov. I’m getting sucked in by the latest marketing campaign though. Any new thoughts from anyone? |

I've become a big fan of it, tuned the Zuma ATC 110's to my buddy's Trinnov'd mastering studio that also has ATC 110's. I ended up giving my D&D's the same house curve. Not quite the same as working on the 8c's but there's no surprises when going back and forth. Amazing tech.

Hi John, some things to consider… While there’s no doubt you are getting the truth from your current setup, not all speakers excel at all things. In VSX, I use different speakers to reveal different things. For instance, I’ve always used NS10’s for LV Level and transient recognition. The Mike Dean NS10’s do a better job at that task than my real ones. There are different speakers and rooms in VSX that I now lean on for different things. If there is anything in your current setup that you feel could be better, VSX probably has something for you. That said, if my mixes sounded like yours, I’d be spending my money on other things than gear. Hope this helps. |

VSX is a great tool for hearing the bottom end, on big soffit mounted studio monitors, and for balancing on familiar NS10's and a Auratone. When your mix sounds good in a variety of VSX's environs, you can have confidence it'll translate. My AUDI B&O car system has more high end rise than any of my studio monitors and VSX choices, so it's not perfect.
I don't understand Slate's effort to emulate different brands of headphones. Why bother, it's speakers in rooms that's the virtue.
