All hype aside, the best way to reproduce the majority of benefits to this is sum your audio to one speaker and high pass it to around 250Hz. Listening to one speaker makes you more critical, mono gives you a new look at translation, and high passing removes the masking effect of low frequencies. People talk about crossovers and directivity and other things but based on my informal research, and having stopped using cube monitors, I think you can get almost all the benefit by doing what I just said. I think what you really get with buying a cube monitor is having all that built into a box, except the mono summing which still must be done elsewhere. My opinion is that two of these in stereo is not necessary.
I use the passive ones with the Bettermaker amp. I love them.
I love them.

Very Clear Explanation. Thank you 🏆
Glad you liked it!
Thanks!
But... do they sound the same as the originals?
They sound better
I kind of wish they weren't made out of MDF but i guess they were trying to stay close to the originals.
