Barefoot Footprint 03: The Only Monitors I Need??? 

Let me know thoughts when you do! I'm loving them man! thanks for checking the video out

@@JordanCriddleWent to Sweetwater and did a shoot out between the Footprint03, Neumann KH120II, Genelec 8040, and Focal Shape 65. The Footprints came out on top for me and I put in a pre order immediately. Can’t wait to get them! The low and low mids were so clear compared to all the 2 ways I listened to. So punchy and clear. The highs also sounded silky smooth and clear. I really have no complaints as of right now. Once I get the in my studio I’m sure I will find things I don’t like but first impressions were great!

@@kylechumchal i wonder if it would've made more sense to do a comparison with other 3 way monitors such as the Dynaudio lyd-48, or the Adam Audio AH8 etc... I would anticipate that a quality 3way will almost always beat out a quality 2way.

@@dpmusic21 I also came to that conclusion but I’m happy with my decision

I love them so far bro! Thanks for checking the video out

@@JordanCriddle Most definitely bro keep killing it!

yep! I have a little treatment up that's not shown on camera but def adding more soon!

When I got these, I went overboard on treatment, and it sounds amazing. But the revolutionary part of the speakers is because they’re small you don’t have to go crazy with room treatment like other three-way speakers

I appreciate you checking out the video!

I appreciate you bro

Let us know how they sound. Really curious about these compared to the 8341s and kh310

@@dpmusic21 Coming from Mackie HR824 MK2's, they're a step up. Midrange clarity and transient response was the first thing i noticed. I used the KH310's for about 2 years in the previous studio I worked at. The 310's are definitely better. 310's have much more bottom end, transient response is great, clarity across the spectrum is great. It's what you'd expect when a single speaker costs more than a pair of the FP03's lol. If you're able to get the 310's, get those instead. If your budget is $2,100, go with the FP03's.

I heard the KH310s tweeters aren't so great against new monitors today, being old technology....? Correct me if I'm wrong.

@@DjXCENTRiC eh at that point you’re getting into the weeds a bit. They’re great monitors, there’s a reason they’re so expensive. I would choose the KH310’s over the FP03’s if I could (I think most would as well), I just don’t have the budget right now.

@@JakeLewisReal I'm looking to upgrade. I just got the HEDD Type 20's mk2 and I just sent them back today. The volume levels are horrible, very low in volume and peak extremely fast. Not worth the price IMO! I've been stalking those Neumanns lol.. But the tweeters are throwing me off....

Happy to be a part!

yessir! I appreciate it!

what do u think about them?

Do it, dawg!

This is exactly why i ended up getting some Dynaudio LYD48 to pair with the Neumann KH120 (i have the first gen). While I appreciated the Neumann's for mixing, they were too clinical for producing or just vibing to music. I also felt like the KH120 are better for fine tuning mixes rather than building mixes. In other words, they are clinical that I was hearing the individual elements instead of hearing the mix. The LYD-48s provided exactly what I was looking for. They are great for producing and I love starting my mixes on them and building up the main body of the mix. The analogy I use is the -LYD48s allow me to see the entire forest better. The KH120s allow me to see the individual trees in the forest better.

I think the focals are a good bang for your buck and will give you much more low end compared to the hs8.

ayyee i appreciate the comment bro. i actually ordered a pair of sound anchor stands at the same time that I bought the monitors. they won't be here for a couple of weeks but i'm 100% with you on that

@@JordanCriddle I never believed the hype years ago haha, but it definitely makes a difference, even just old second hand hifi stands :) awesome
