My VXT 6's are coming tomorrow I listened to an Adams they are excellent too once I got some bass going through the VXT's they really sounded good I played some of my tracks unmixed and they translated well. Atleast in the shop they did. In a small room I expect them to be quite dynamic if not to the shop they will go in exchange for Yahama H80sm.
After some long dilebrating and backwards and forwarding priming my ears (I have good ears) most people will say that. (but I definatley do)
I opted for the VXT 6's I had my reservations after listening to some Adams (excellent sweet spot) good strong bass.
The bass is fuller on the Adams but more rounded with detail on the VXT's so there would not be allowance for deep bumping bass but more for defining and tuning although they go from 46khz - 22khz which is a good range. In the shops that I went to the bass seemed a bit lacking although detailed.
I was advised that once they were in my, not too big room, that they would sound much better. I was really anticipating the worst as the Adams indeed sound very good.
I was also thinking that the Yamaha H80SM would be a good purchase not the best but a good purchase non the less. They seem abit harsh at the top and too bassy and in your face maybe best for the drum and bass crowd.
The Adams made everything that i played sound as if it was made and mixed at Abbey Road and would not let me identify issues in the mix. Very Coloured.
Anyway, to cut a long story short. I went with the VXT 6's and let me tell you. They do sound very good quite immersive. Takes a while to get used to but once you become accustomed you begin to appreciate just how good these monitors are.
Happy with the purchase and will be bringing you more info as i get more accustomed to the sound before actually mixing.
PS
The VXT 6's seemed to be the better monitor between the 4's and 8's so I guess that you get best of both worlds the close monitoring aspect and some of the bass.
I have played it at low levels and the LF and HF do not go missing they remain quite constant throughout the signal path.
I did not have to bump the music beyond and above volume setting 1 on the volume nob of my
Saffire pro 24 DSP and there was enough spectrum covered both at the low and top end of the spectrum. Enough bass was delivered and very spatial in the mids and the top end did not go walk about.
Very good purchase! To those that are undecided, between the RP's (rockits) and the lower end Expose (VXT) the difference is night and day.
If i had listened to some people on here who seemed dead set against them i would have made a big mistake now.
