I listened to the D&D today, they are realy great speakers, very interesting to listen to them next to the Genelec 8351. both amazing speakers. I will listening to them in my studio next to the Amphion Two 15 and again the 8351... and the D&D are LOUD!!! more than what I need...that is always a great thing  Interested to hear vs the Two15. |

I feel the 8C is in another league than the Amphion's although they share a characteristic in the ability to perceive midrange problems obviously.
I have never heard any system translate like the Dutch and Dutch. MIxes sound better outside of my room and I am working fast.

Bumping this thread to keep the speaker correction thread away from becoming a Dutch and Dutch thread. I wholly agree with what nomatic says in his posts. These monitors are giving info in a way that to me feels like a master key into audio. Tons of detail and they'll definitely show you what needs to be addressed in the mix, yet are super fun and non fatiguing to work on.

I wonder if it would be totally useless to try the 8C's if I couldn't use the wall bounce feature. I'm really interested the design but I don't think that feature would work in my control room.

I wonder if it would be totally useless to try the 8C's if I couldn't use the wall bounce feature. I'm really interested the design but I don't think that feature would work in my control room. Tough to say. If it's a traditional control room with thick bass trapping on the front wall you'd probably want to install a hard surface for them to use. They do like to be close to the wall which I imagine would be tricky in rooms designed for the monitors to be far away from walls. There's a freestanding mode but I haven't used mine like that and couldn't really say if it'd be the same result as using the wall bounce. I guess that's the trade off of tech that works so well as designed and flies contrary to conventional placement. I met up with Tyner and Martijn recently and it sounds like they have more demo units these days so I'm sure they could help you out. I'm curious how they'd work for you. |

I absolutely can't afford these, but man...I'm really craving a better monitoring experience.

Be careful demoing them then, when dialed in they're scary good. I don't ever miss the monitors I sold to make it happen.

At $12.5k, you’d have to be making some serious coin with them to justify the investment.

It only hurts for a minute......
This being said there is a pretty big leap in efficiency in using these.....

I wonder how long it will be before this design idea filters down to something less expensive.

I'll have to wait until I'm able to tell all my clients how things are going to be and not curtailing to their whims.
"Hey, was listening in my '98 Caprice and I think the bass needs to come up..."
"Suck it, I have $12k monitors."

Everyone still cool on the D&D 8C's? I'm going to upgrade from MM45's after I finish mixing our current record. Thinking I might go down to Austin to give them a listen.
Edit: finish mixing

Edit: finish mixing Really love mine still. I had MM35's for 9 years before them, D&D's are much more pleasant while working or even just listening. For me it's much easier to tell what's going on, I'm sure part of that is the built in room tuning. If I were to have one slight criticism it's that I do feel a bit more emotionally connected to my ATC 20's (with sub), however, the reality is no one would be able to tell what I did on what and I'm definitely the weak link in either set of these amazing monitors. |

I love my 8C's - plus my second pair of nearfield monitors: PSI A21's. The 8C's really like to be pushed up close to the wall - and due to my 5 meter deep mix room, this allows me to sit in the sweet spot (roughly 38%) The 8C's get down REALLY low. Excellent mastering and mixing monitors. The PSI's are killer for tracking = vibey and dynamic / great bottom end. These two pairs of monitors will do me forever |

The last speakers I compared them to in my room last year where the Ex Machina Pulsars. no contest the 8c's had so much more 3d depth and extension down low.I had them side by side for around 3 weeks. the 8c low end is effortless punchy, feels accurate.. the pulsars started struggling with medium volume low stuff..like less headroom. and the 8c rear wall dsp sub alignment is priceless for my space. |
