IK Multimedia iLoud MTM - White

What to say: they are powerful, they sound great, automatic equaliser is well engineered, and while still being monitors and shooting back at you a neutral sound, you still get a pleasant round dynamic if you just want to enjoy some music. I use them sometimes with a stage piano, sometimes I try to produce my own music on Logic and this ranges jazz to full-out electro, I play the sax (incl. digital) and I sing. And of course, I also enjoy heavy gaming. At least to my ears, I enjoy the sound better than my previous Yamaha HS series, but that's just me. I have two of them and in an apartment it's more than plenty, round and louder than needed. I don't think I would enjoy a single monitor, though, it's still very compact and it benefits from support in the lower frequencies, either a second monitor (works great) so you can keep power low and still enjoy strong loud frequencies, or if you have an old sub lying around (like I did) it's even better. They're not cheap, I don't think I would have paid for an extra sub, though, two pieces run at almost 700EUR, a decent sub is another 300, at 1k EUR I guess there's plenty of options.

One last comment: they are small and look great. My home studio is for everyone to see, this one variable made the difference with my wife.

Great buy, they're here to stay.

You can´t take away that these have fantastic sound - up to the moment you raise the volume a bit. And I am saying a bit, not even a lot. The rear reflex port will start emitting a most unpleasant sound - and that´s that, really. Forget about ever listening to anything above a polite sound level. I can not see any way out of this, except buying a quality subwoofer and freeing the MTMs from the lower spectrum. Not really what I expected and for - at that point - over 1300 combined with a decent subwoofer there are a lot of options out there.

I was aware that clipping would also occur at far, far less than ear splitting levels - but again, I was shocked how soon that really was. And trust me, I am not listening to my mixes at very high volume.

So again, are these worth the price, considering that you will never, ever be able to play them semi-loud, or with a decent bass ? I don´t think so, and can definitely not recommend them, even with the gorgeous mid and high, all the more when considering what is out there around the same price.

Replaced my good old Adam A7 and was looking for more compact monitors. These iLoud MTM are really impressive for their flat response and astonishing low end extention! I even have to switch the 50Hz filter to avoid the furnitures to rumble with the bass. The calibration feature is extremely handy to acchieve a neutral response is almost any space. What is special about this model is that the sweet spot is very narrow. That sounds like a negative point, but this is how they have been designed to reduce the effect of room reflections.
Are these as good as twice more expensive speakers as the marketing says? That is not so sure. It mighy be true for the frequency response. But even if I find them very accurate and more precise for bass heavy music especially in my small space, they do not offer the level of clarity, air, space and instrument separation that I liked with my previous Adam monitors. But at the end of the day, I am a happy customer for the sound they produce for such small and pretty boxes.
