Let me know if you are planning on getting new monitors. If so which ones are you leaning toward?

@Ultimate_Wasabi Год назад

Have you heard any ME-Geithain? I know it's a really odd speaker, but I've heard really good things about them. I've been wanting to hear a pair, but finding a demo is tough. Warner-Chappell uses them and I've saw them being used at Square Enix's studio. Expensive speakers though - even higher than Ex Machina (though I think Ex Machina exceeds with the technology).

@TouchToneDSG Год назад

@@Ultimate_Wasabi I have not but I can look them up they sound interesting by the way love the profile pic one of the best shows ever

@Ultimate_Wasabi Год назад

@@TouchToneDSG Once you go over the $10k price point, I think it may get diminishing returns on how much you spend. Still, ME-Geithain makes a "cheap" $1500 (single) speaker for us plebeians. And yes, it is an awesome show.

@destructo7916 Год назад

Great take TouchTone. I appreciate you taking the time on this review. Congratulations on the purchase as well. These have been on the radar since their release but was waiting to hear a trusted source and their take in them. I’m particular I wanted to know if they were going to sound the same regardless of the volume level. And as it appears, looks like they have convinced you. I work at lower levels but need them to go as clean as possible. So now that I know that they’ll knock your socks off no matter the volume it’s a go for me. Thanks again brother for your honesty.

@peterbigblock Год назад

Great review, I’m not in the market for this level of monitors yet but I will be at some point in the near future and it’s great to know these are a solid option. Getting accurate bass is the biggest thing for me. I know my monitors (Focal Solo6 Be) very well but it still takes some time to get the low end of some material just right. Thank you for a great and honest review.

@TouchToneDSG Год назад

I got a set of Pulsars this year. They are the best monitors out there IMO. It’s hard to get a sense at NAMM or in demo rooms man. You gotta get ‘em in your space and then you know man…then you know. Clinical like ATC but powerful and inspiring like PMC and Focal.

@gfromshankside Год назад

...been waiting for this one, my guy. Great minds and whatnot... I've been dreaming about the Ex Machina speakers. Also, I been rocking my DOOM ring for some years now. I should pick up a pair of those Sound Anchors. Side note: Yes, monitoring is one of the most important aspects of any studio. Converters (now days) are literally the least important....like, behind cabling and chair selection. I can't wait to see the studio tour! Stay up, my G!

@TouchToneDSG Год назад

Hey man I really do appreciate you and MF Doom is the best period. Great minds do think alike on the sound anchor stands You're going to love them bro I wouldn't even think twice if I knew what I knew now I would have probably got him a long time ago.

@@TouchToneDSG I haven’t had any experience with monitors that use DSP yet but I do want a closed cabinet monitor to compliment my Focals. Seems like most of the high end closed cabinet monitors use DSP though. I can only imagine how blown away you were when you got those monitors. Lol. I started off with Focal twin 6’s. When I got the Trio 8’s I was like holy shit and then I got the Trio 11’s and was like holy shit again. Lol. The low end extension kept getting better and better!

My only pet peeve about these amazing monitors is the fact that they used Phillips head screws instead of Allen screws. I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs but it makes a big difference as far as the looks of a quality finish.

@WhoIsAlexElliott Год назад

I felt the same when I first got mine !! Also im sure your distributor will let youknow but don't use anything like sonarkworks as it can undo the phase & time alignment that the internal dsp is doing.

@TouchToneDSG Год назад

Makes sense thanks for the tip G

@RodneyD Год назад

I almost went with the Ex Machina’s… but I choose the Genelec’s 8351b instead. Here’s why 3 reasons I chose Genelec over Ex Machina… 1. Genelec have a digital connection. 2. Genelec have their on room correction that can be stored directly to the dsp on the speaker. Something about running SW as a separate application in the background with speakers at this price point doesn’t sound appealing. 3. Genelec hold their value. Other than that. The Genelec have all the same pros that the Ex Machina have. But at this price point… you’d be hard pressed to find monitors that don’t sound superb. But I’m like you… I don’t mind spending this type of money on my craft. Find your forever speakers and be done with it.
