I own and use the 310's , I found my mixing decisions with the Neumanns are so fast, i went from many different monitors to the KH120, which led me to upgrade to the 310, I can hear the subtleties of compression and the different reverbs nice and clearly. I heard the atc's (mark 1) today, they are both amazing, the ATC's are more musical as well as being insanely accurate good speakers are awesome...!
Do you still strongly recommend the 310As if you don't have the budget for ATCs or did you find others in your search that were also much better than the 310As but more budget friendly than the ATC? Are the ATCs not a bit quiet and lacking bass compared to the Neumanns?
The Neumann’s are probably the best in that price range. The ATCs are wonderfully balanced. Not sure why I’d need them to be any louder, I try not to go over 85dB anyway.
@@davespeakmanmusic I make house and techno so I want a more club like perspective at times. Did you try the focal trio 6 or 11? I county have cms65 and Dynaudio Bm15a (the latter are certainly loud enough to damage hearing if cranked for long periods)
@@davespeakmanmusic I’ll have to give them a try. I think studiocare Liverpool is going to be my best bet too I didn’t know it existed - Is the demo room good? I need to sort out my acoustics before buying anything else though. What kind of music do you make/mix?
I have a pair of 310s; I added the 750 sub with MA-1 and to my surprise it did phase correction, making the 310s much wider sounding and clear
same here. Completely different speakers after this upgrade.
Nice to see you're back at it, will have to come over at some point, currently I'm in Belgium 🇧🇪
Thanks, Reiss. Will be good to see you. 😀
Did you use exactly the same source, signal cables, room location when comparing these monitors?
The guys at studiocare set them up using a dangerous monitor controller. The difference was not subtle.

Yea, the 310s are amazing!!!
Surely the tweeter on in inside is a personal choice, you could swap the monitors around? Or not......
They’re calibrated to be tweeters inward. You could swap them if that was working better in the room you’re in but it’s not how they were designed.

@MadelnMachines I’ve used focal trios in a few places - they’re amazing

The room at studio care is good enough to hear the differences, defo. I mostly mix jazz, blues and rock stuff but also do a bit of electronic stuff. 😀
Compelling, considering the Neumanns lost a shootout against the JBL Mk3's.
According to who?
@MadelnMachines sorry, I don’t understand the question 😀
@@davespeakmanmusic I was asking robertsawyermusic6995 about the Neumanns in a shootout with the JBL mk3s
Having listened to these in the Studio I can confirm they are disgusting 🤩
Mad isn’t it!
