Hello, thanks for the review!
I have the JBL 305 and I am Really happy with them. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the fx80?
I produce Music and cutt videos on them. Now I am thinking about a slight upgrade because I would like to have a bit more Bass. My mixes are to bass heavy, I hope this would improve my mixes a bit.
Also I was thinking about saving money for the Neumann KH 120... But it is a bit overkill cause I am not making any money with my music and for the video cutting the jbls are completely fine. What do you think?
Should I stay with the 305?
or save some money for the Neumann?
or should I go for the fx80?
Thanks 😊
I've had these for 8 months in my studio and love them as well. You might be happy to know the crazy bright blue lights (which helped me correctly position my monitors) both stopped working within 4 months of me using them. Fortunately the red leds are still functional. Now I'm thinking about getting 3 FX50's for a 5.1 setup. I'll make a video about it if I do. Thanks for the great reviews!
Just received my FX80, ordered them due to your recommendation.
Couldn't be happier!
They sound awesome!
I have the previous gen in my living room for hifi/HT and they never disappoint. Sweet spot is wide af! I did add the Fluid F8S subwoofer after a year. This is an amazing value system and I highly recommend it.
How are these comparing with Kali IN-8?
Just what I was looking for. I bought the new Topping EX5 some weeks ago to connect the optical out from my TV, it has XLR pre out, and a good DAC for little money. Think that would match perfectly together with these fluids for the home cinema setup.
I have a Fluid Audio F8S subwoofer as my home theater sub, and I only run it at 50% volume because despite the size, the little guy thumps and overwhelms the neighbors with Edge of Tomorrow. I have been tempted by 5" Fluids becausr I imagine they are very good, but I already have KEF Q300s in the living room and JBL LSR305Ps for the computer. Big fan of Fluid Audio stuff though, sad they don't get much notice.
Now i know what my next purchase is. Literally perfect bc its front ported. Was going for t5v's but this seems better coming from 305s
Interesting 🧐 Loving the idea...
Great review as always, I want to try these speakers
I have a pair of the original FX8's Fluid Audio made (as well as a pair of FXP7's), they are rock solid. I've had them for over 7 years and they still sound as solid as ever. They may not be a big name company, but they stand behind their product and so far both pairs of these speakers have not let me down.
Does the AMT tweeter really sound better than the silk soft dome tweeter? I have my doubts.
@@thatchinaboi1 from my experience, you get a higher cleaner definition of the higher frequencies.
@@efraingonzalez4642 That doesn't make sense. Are you saying the silk dome tweeter of the FX8 has audible distortion?
@@thatchinaboi1 no, what i am saying is that the amt tweeter puts out more defined highs.
Since fpx7s are not available anymore,I"m eyeing the cx7s.would you recommend?
You finally reviewed the Fluid Audio FX50/FX80. I have been raving about them for over a year now. As an audio engineer, I have never been more impressed with a set of nearfield monitors than with the FX50 paired with a Mackie Cr8s Studio Subwoofer. For the price and performance, the FX50 and FX80 really should be sold out, if people knew just how incredible they are. (The dip switch for acoustic space is a godsend for desktop setups. So is the dedicated tweeter waveguide that virtually eliminates IMD associated with most coaxial designs. The imaging of coaxials is simply UNRIVALED, just make sure they are positioned optimally.)
These for 400€ or Edifier S2000 mkiii for 440€? If you've heard them. I've got a RME Adi-2 for a dac so thats not a problem.
Looking to get nice desktop speakers for music and gaming, occasionally movies. Something not too boring and neutral. Got Buchardt S300 for my living room so I'd like something treble/mid oriented, Buchardt got all the great bass I need
@@JuhoLankila You can adjust the frequency response a bit with the FX50. I would go with the FX50. Whatever speaker you get will have desk reflection issues around 125 Hz. There are different ways of mitigating it such as proper placement, speaker stands, acoustic treatment, subwoofer crossover adjustment, and built in DSP correction such as the acoustic dip switch on the back of the FX50.
@@JuhoLankila In regards to neutral speakers being less exciting or boring, I don't believe that to be the case. The purpose of sound reproduction is to reproduce audio as close to the source as possible. If a song sounds less exciting on a speaker that is neutral, then the issue is with the song itself or rather the mixing and mastering. There is however the issue of system synergy with the acoustic space which is not so much as issue with the speakers themselves, but an issue with the acoustics, placement, and positioning. A neutral set of studio monitors is NOT flat, it should have a slight downward tilt towards the high frequencies due to room gain. This can be considered "warm" compared to a flat response, but it is in fact the desired frequency response of a relatively flat set of speakers or monitors in a room.
Thx! And yeah naturally I'm gonna get stands or some other form of isolation no matter what I get. My table is also very heavy, and I've already got some panels for my walls. Room is pretty large as well
@@JuhoLankila What did you go with? I am having the same debate myself.
Love the Content Z :)
Veerrry interesting…thank you Zeos
29:57 that was positive lightning, thats the reason it sounded like an explosion, positive lightnings are maybe 10% of all lightnings and they are 10x more powerful than negative lightnings
btw Mr. Zeos, Edifier S360DB review? even though Edifiers price skyrockets for some reason, at least in Europe, or other desktop speakers that are not very big or give me recommendation, mostly for music and gaming
SOUND DEMO HERE :: ruclips.net/video/7z7vX5g1b-M/видео.html
Maybe Z meant the HSU CCB-8 is good for off axis but not really intended for ON axis listening where you are looking down the barrel of shotgun tweeter. The CCB-8s perform great as a center channel mounted above or below your tv. You can also mount 2 of the CCB-8s above your tv and cross them at 30 degrees and create a great phantom center.
How do the Fluids compare with Kali IN-8?
Hey Z small correction. There is another 8 inch coaxial. The Tannoy gold 8 was released within the last year if I’m not mistaken, it has also consistently sold out.
interest has been piqued
(still haven't watched the whole thing, will do later) no interest for the Presonus Sceptre? they have both 6 and 8 inch models.
@@ZReviews Presonus also has a coax monitor
@@ZReviews please review the smallest one tannoy gold 5, although small its 200w class ab so lots of low and very enjoyable at very close listening, want to hear from you about it. thanks
oh no i tested tannoy gold 5 myself, this 5 inch woofer made em lose their mid definition, so zeos please review tannoy 8 instead of 5 lol
what are those monitor stands and did you make them and how? lol
would it be crazy to stack like 8 of those, 3 left 2 center 3 right, to get a big sound wall for movies? (and more for surround)
Nope. Not crazy, but you would need to find a way to get them to work since they are powered monitors. MiniDSP with enough outputs could work.
@@thatchinaboi1 any processor for hc can do it considering getting a fluid audio setup for 7.4.2
how are these performing in the context of hiss? i saw too many reviews online, stating that fx80´s are too noisy when turned on. is that true? i am planning to buy them, but as nearfield monitors, my room is simply not too big. i am not sure if i want to hear constant hiss all the time.
Z, with money not withstanding can you suggest which monitors overall you would get... Either these FX-80's or the Kali In-8's you reviewed. Btw I'm guessing the new In 8 V2's are better so I'm taking that into consideration. Thx dude.
I m looking in to these speakers and I wonder how strong/loud is hiss when everything is at max without sound.
You should check out the Kali Audio IN-8 2nd Wave.
Very nice speakers.
nice,
Much love from Indonesia, ♥♥♥♥♥
Sooo IN8 or these for enjoying music?
Biggest coaxials: Tannoy Westminster Royal :)
Their new powered monitors (Tannoy Gold 5, 7, and 8) are actually awesome and have a high WAF (don't ask me why)
Nope the biggest coaxial is Viking GOTTENBURG
The WAF is correct, after the mrs noticed the new Gold 8 in the studio, she said that they look great. Bought another set for the house, and the mrs loves them... Everybody's happy now, thank you Tannoy!
How are these comparing with Edifier s3000pro?
I want to see someone do 7 of those, a cheap emotiva basx processor, 2 monolith sub 12" or 15" as an home theater. dunno what could do surround with those but you'll be able to have a killer hc setup for 6/7000 including projector.
Tannoy Gold 8s are good, I have a pair myself.
I replaced my Fluid FX80's with a pair of Tannoy Gold 7's. I like the Tannoy more and they don't hiss like the FX80.
You could make ASMR Thunderstorm records, shit would be dope
freesound.org
~$500 a pair is about what you can expect to spend on a set of used Yamaha HS8s, which seem to be one of the more popular 8" studio monitors available. Any idea how they stack up to these?
Do your research, he already review them ruclips.net/video/ToPpEWlCF6A/видео.html
I sold those recently. Kept the Adam T8v and These instead
I can almost hear the rumble of scientific triumph coming out of these things.
I wish you would try the Tannoy Gold 8, in Europe they are very affordable.
It's been a few months since I replaced the Yamaha HS8 with the Tannoy and I love them so much I also got a set that I run in the living room.
Interesting...I have the T7v's nearfield on my desk (3 1/2 feet from my head) in a small room and do enjoy the sound. However, I am not opposed to flipping to something else if the sound is better, especially when they are the same price.
I find the bass on the T7v's is most prominent 3 or 4 feet further back in my room from my seating position (unfortunately I'm kind of landlocked to this spot because of stuff). Do you think the bass of the Fluids could end up focused closer to the speakers?
so this is the new standard when i choose to buy a speaker setup FUUUUK! Imagine playing San Andreas and every car has a specific EQ listening to the classics OUUUUUF!
Do you think this would make a great center channel?
Sure, so long as you have a pre-out to feed it.
So could you buy a home theater pre amp (like for separates) and then use all studio monitors
Yes.. 100%.. why aren't you doing that.
Was thinking about it one issue is the center channel and heights?
@@ZReviews also would love to see this in a video. Adam t7 as the fronts or these speakers and then the small counter parts for the surround speakers
Hey Z! Have you heard the Cabasse Antigua MC170? It's a French coaxial 3-way speaker on sale in Europe now for under 300 bucks that sounds freaking amazing. Get the oak finished one with silver grills, your welcome
Do I need to go to France to get a set?
I doubt it is a coaxial for all three drivers. You are better off with coaxial 2 driver speakers paired with a subwoofer. 😊
I hooked up a pair of FX80’s to my preamp outs on my home theater receiver using double shielded RCA cables and OMG!!!! I’ve never heard so much hum!!!! So sad. I was really looking forward to these speakers. Maybe the balanced inputs work great, but the RCA input is trash. I contacted fluid to see if there is a way to fix this. If not, I have to send them back.
Do you have like a tier list of your favorites? Scoring sheet or something? I love all of your vids but I don't have the time watch them all and am in the market for some new speakers, but I got no idea where to start looking on this channel
The issue is there are too many factors to sort through to just have a tier list. If I knew your budget, use case and placement scenario, I could sus it out in the patronage chat. wink wink.
@@ZReviews That's understandable. How much is your patronage stuff? I have no idea how any of that works lol. Also, I bought the Clear MG's 100% off your recommendation and love them 🙂👍
whats your opinion on them vs adam a7x's ?
I have a pair of Mk-1 Kali Audio LP-8s within an apartment dwelling mix studio environment. Love 'em, but they are a bit overkill, and was thinking about swapping for a pair of Fluid FX50s? This FX80 demo was freakin' awesome BTW!
🖖
I own a pair of KEF Q950s, they're 8" (200mm, so technically 7.87") coaxial.
Q950s are floorstanding non-powered 3 way and $1100/each...what are you on about?
But they are not powered studio monitors, are they? 😂
@@arafelify I believe Z's point was that KEF wouldn't make 8" coaxials at all, which they do. That's all. Sorry if my mentioning that offended you in any way. ;p
Can’t dis the sub- I’ve been fine with a 12” 100W Velodyne for the last 20 years! (but it was more than $400 back then, too.)
Title says SX80 instead of FX80... now i need to buy more speakers.
Fixed, thanks.
They are not the only big coaxials Presonus sceptre 8 are as well and actually are bigger, i d like to compare both actually, they have nothing to do with adams tv8 or 7 soundwise, the fx80 are far far better
FX50 coming? We need more budget content
Adam T8V I thought you called them a frat boy party speaker and that it was too loud. That the T5V or T7V were the more hifi choice. I went with yammy HS8 over Adam T8V for my desktop setup. I couldn’t fall in love with the ribbon nearfield but I would have preferred the T8V midfield or a small room.
I think that was the Yamaha wasn't it. The T8v were classy sounding
@@ZReviews oh you’re right
song at 13:27 Zeos?
ruclips.net/video/sGnxbObgibQ/видео.html
I snagged a pair of KEF Q150 new at 300 bucks, I probably would have gotten these if I knew about them lol
i've always been interested in the pioneer rm-07's for their coaxial design. But they always seem to fly under the radar if they even make them anymore.
I have been impressed with my Fluid Audio FX50s. If you take a look at the design, it takes care of IMD associated with most coaxial designs due to the tweeter having it's own waveguide.
Emotiva se12?
Im going to be drained if I keep watching this channel....
If you had to choose one… FPX7 or FX80?
Presonus Sceptre S8 is a higher end 8in coaxial monitor
I believe you that they are great. But i´m good with my T5V´s, thanks. And i don´t think these are really ugly, but Adam´s look way better.
Hey Z - first, thanks for giving me another neat thing to spend my money on (maybe). Second, I left you a comment in the Swan M500 review recently- I got a set and do not have the super high volume issue you have with yours. Maybe you got a set with a wonky gain setting, or maybe it was something in your signal chain? Whatever the cause, mine have a completely normal volume progression. I've had them up to within 3 clicks of full playing music, and that's with the Bluetooth signal 1 click under max... they are nice and loud, but mine are definitely normal compared to what you showed...
Try the Coaxial or Fiber inputs?
@@ZReviews - I currently don't have all my goodies with me, so I'll have to use my laptop, but if I get a patch cable for it I'll try the rca's. Coax would require something other than the laptops built in outputs, which I don't have handy. I might be able to use the xlr's (maybe), if I have 2 cables. I can hack something together with the mixer I have possibly...
**edit** I just confirmed my laptops outputs and found out it has a combo jack with optical, so I ordered a cable. It'll be here Monday, though I won't get my hands on it till Tuesday night. I'll see how that does and comment here again.
What is it with speakers and optical being noticeably louder
I can't help but to think they're car speakers lmao but I need em
i use 5 inch monitors for my environment, i got the FX50 of your recommendation
sub bass is completely fucked, can not even hit sub bass notes properly :(
Well fuck, I have a set of Fluid Audio F5, for music production but also just for general enjoyment. Now I want these things. I don't have money though, and that's probably a good thing, cause then I would waste a lot on this stuff.
I suggest getting the Fluid Audio FX50 instead and pair it with a Mackie Cr8s Subwoofer. For nearfield monitoring you don't need 8" drivers. It is a waste. Plus the frequency response of the FX50 is a bit flatter than the FX80. The reason why I recommend the Mackie Cr8s Subwoofer is because it is an incredible subwoofer for the price plus you have the benefit of a sealed subwoofer, which produces more accurate transients than a ported design.
@@thatchinaboi1 thank you for the advice, that's very insightful. But the appeal of 8 inch is still.... Very tempting
YOU NEED TO CHECK OT THE TANNOY GOLD 8
Heard the Adam T7v in a music store, it was the worst monitor there, sounded bass heavy and not detailed to my ears.
This FX80 sounded very nice in the store - maybe too nice, sounded more HiFi to my ears than a studio monitor which is why I understand why Zeus likes them so much for music listening.
I wonder how the Kali in-8 is doing in comparison to these.
I had a chance to test the Kali in-8 in a store, I don't know about imaging, but they sounded bass heavy and unclear to my ears.
Do I need a "lying" speaker to color the highs to my old ears? Maybe.
But I did test the Dynaudio BM-5, and thought they sounded great.
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
So these or kali
old kef Q60s are 7 in coax think that's the biggest they make
Monitor fix....pssst....Tannoy Gold 7 or Gold 8....fantastic.
Hey Zeos, just wanted to let you know that's poison ivy outside your window...👀
Um. I will double check.
My bad I looked it up it's a Virginia creeper. I have it in my backyard as well and somebody told me it was poison ivy.
@@michaelruggiero8284 Thanks for clearing that up. Would make great burglar deterrent
Yo u heard??? KZ made new IEM with Electrostatic + dynamic duo. .....(25$ they say) Big bruh
cheesnrice, zeos, play hi rez royalty free music its out there...
Is it FX80? Trying to google it.
look in the description
@@georgeorwell7776 it was changed, said SX80 first.
please review isn est50
Tannoy make an 8inch coaxial tower speaker the XT8T I think they are called
Over priced, out of stock, and the design does not take care of IMD associated with most coaxial designs.
Take a closer look at the Fluid Audio FX50 and FX80 design and notice how the tweeter has it's own waveguide. The Tannoy design will definitely have IMD issues at louder SPLs due to it's outdated design.
@@thatchinaboi1 does this change the fact Tannoy make an 8 inch coaxial? Which was the question asked
3:59 Welp, I guess I'm a madman. ;-)
Damn I guess it's been a while....when did you move to the basement :)
Tannoy , Fyne Audio, are also superb , and bigger . Tannoy a lot bigger
Fluid Audio is better. Take a closer look at the design.
I own the Tannoy Gold 8 and tested the Fluid FX80, I don't care if the design might be better in theory, the Tannoy is a better speaker. I also owned the T7V and Yamaha HS8... For the price, at least in Europe, the Tannoys are bargain.
Yang and Blake became Adam beaters
Now you are gonna make me overthink my future wallpaper decisions.
@@Zeos2nd you’re welcome
I'm between Kali and Fluid...🤔
plastic front makes them look like the old cheapo Sony speakers
KRK G4 Crushes Adam T5V and T7V
ffs I just got T8vs lol.
On the upside though, before I got my T8vs I only had audioengine A5+s and now I can hear actually hear detail in my music, and the speakers actually image. I can hear bass from behind my desktop monitor instead of from my subwoofer now, they image that well, lol.
u did nothing wrong
31 seconds.
Ehhem jbl studio 530 and yamaha a s501 exist...... ehhem
Why you Don't play bootleg covers in the reviews.... Not original ... No problems....👊🏻
Why, why, why don't you put everything else aside and start your own business making audio equipment!!!!!!
Especially speakers to at least start !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Common Sense and a sense of what really works and what people like .
You would do very well.!!!!!!!!
The more I watch, the more I realize how little he knows what he's talking about.
so much nonsense talk.. did you have issues?
How do you talk about speakers for 38 minutes ? Get to the point .
