Yea mixing/mastering. You get that next level omg reference type speaker clarity and stereo imaging along with a bigger speaker and wider freq range for the price.

They sell mostly direct, have a coaxial design and are made in China, so that's part of the cost savings.

And now comes the D8s, woowowow....these things sound so amazingly good, it's unreal the difference.  And here I was thinking highly of the Adams, but testing them side by side totally made it clear how studio monitors should sound.  D8 are truly amazing.  It has made a whole world of difference and am going to share some sounds hopefully soon.

Interested in seeing that they use a DSP to separate the bands... something that has bugged me always, such a simple circuit for something that should be tuned quite precise.
