I found this on youtube since I'm in the market for a pair of monitors and I stumbled across this. I know you have to consider acoustics in with this, but the way they have it set up is pretty cool. You can give a listen to the source track first, get an idea of the transients and clarity and start flipping through each different speaker.
Some of them I've heard before and I can definitely speak for the Opals in that they are incredible monitors, if you listen to them against the source track you can hear how well they respond and how close to the source they are. In contrast you can discover pretty quickly which monitors smear the low end and lack definition. There's a video of them showing you how they conduct the test's and it looks like it's pretty controlled to me. It's no anechoic chamber, but I kind of like that honestly, you can hear how each speaker sounds in a good room.
I'm liking the KRK VXT8's for what I'm looking to spend, somewhere around 1k. KRK has a 3-way monitor called the 10-3 that sounds pretty nice, and I've always wanted a pair of 3-way monitors, but they do seem to lack upper mids and have a hole around 150hz. Anyone have the VXT8's???
